Illegal Dumping
Illegal dumping is the placement of waste onto private or public land where no license or approval exists to accept such waste. Penalties apply to those violating the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.
Parkes Shire Council Rangers investigate illegal dumping, littering and kerbside waste to protect our environment and maintain the health and safety of Parkes Shire residents. Council Rangers will make every reasonable attempt to locate the owner of the illegally dumped materials.
Your help in reporting information relating to illegally dumped materials is essential.
