Further Information

Report Illegal Dumping (RID)

If you see large illegally dumped items, the best thing you can do is report this through the EPA's RID ONLINE tool. 

When you report illegal dumping, you help the EPA and local council:

• Protect human health and the environment

• Detect and penalise dumpers

• Find and clean up dumped waste

• Identify dumping hot spots so we can develop strategies to prevent this behaviour in future in your local area.
