Report illegal rubbish dumping
If you see dumped rubbish, call us on 0800 NODUMP (0800 663 867) to report it.
Dumpers will be fined up to $30,000. Your waste is your responsibility.
You can:
• Take it to your nearest rubbish transfer station or community recycling centre (charges may apply).
• Donate items that are in good condition and could enjoy a ‘second life’ with someone else to your local charity store or reuse shop, during opening hours only.
