Litter and illegally dumped items cause harm to our community and wildlife. They attract pests, facilitate the spread of disease and cause danger to pedestrians and cyclists by blocking pathways.

Rangers aim to keep the Shire clean and tidy and will issue fines for breaches of the Litter Act. 

Report littering and illegal dumping

To report illegal dumping and littering, please follow these steps.

  1. Take note of the location.
  2. Take note of what you saw. We would appreciate a description of the rubbish such as size, quantity, material type. You can upload an image to our system if you have taken a photo.
  3. Report to the Shire via the Send, Snap, Solve app or email [email protected]
  4. Litter can also be reported to the Keep Australia Beautiful Council website

Tips for disposing unwanted items

If you need to dispose of unwanted items, there are many options available to you.

  1. Gift the good stuff and donate items to charity or sell online (e.g. via Gumtree or buy nothing Facebook groups)
  2. Visit a Waste Management Facility
  3. Book a free skip bin

Small litter

While the Shire staff regularly address litter in parks, streetscapes, and areas with high foot traffic, we encourage residents to help maintain a welcoming environment by addressing smaller litter issues that the Shire may not be able to respond to.
