Campaign launched to stop illegal dumping in Blue Mountains

Date Time Campaign launched to stop illegal dumping in Blue Mountains Blue Mountains City Council, in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has launched a new public education campaign to raise awareness of illegal dumping in our region. The campaign will be rolled out through July and August and will be seen on buses as well on social media, in the form of a campaign video. When members of community illegally drop items such as couches, mattresses, fridges and construction waste into reserves and bushland, the environmental, social and financial costs to the community are profound. Fortunately, there are teams that are working hard to combat this problem.

No time for waste

Date Time No time for waste Left to right: Carrie Barrett from Regional Illegal Dumping Squad (RID), Glen Crombie from National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), Katrina Gray from NPWS, Rob Robertson from RID, Karinda Stone from Cessnock City Council and Tara Dever from Mindaribba LALC. Our community is tired of seeing our beautiful Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA) spoilt by illegal dumping. In response, a number of organisations have decided to tackle anti-social behaviour together and increase surveillance. Representatives from Cessnock City Council, National Parks and Wildlife Service, NSW Police, Hunter Regional Illegal Dumping Squad, Crown Lands, State Forests, and Mindaribba Local Aboriginal Land Council have committed to increasing surveillance activity and resources to combat illegal dumping.
