Illegal dumping and littering can impact local neighbourhoods, parks, waterways and public spaces. Council works with the community to prevent illegal dumping, investigate reports and keep Bayside clean and safe. Residents are encouraged to report dumped waste, littering and abandoned items so action can be taken as quickly as possible.
How Council Prevents Illegal Dumping
Council uses a range of measures to reduce illegal dumping and littering across Bayside. These include education programs, targeted enforcement, regular inspections and surveillance in identified hotspot locations.
Solar-powered CCTV cameras may be deployed in areas where illegal dumping occurs regularly. Information collected may be used to investigate offences and support enforcement action.
Community reports remain one of the most effective tools in identifying offenders and preventing future incidents.
