You Will Be Caught Illegal Dumping
Published on 04 May 2020
At the start of April, Rangers located 10 cubic metres of household waste in Council owned bushland off Albatross Rd, South Nowra. Rangers have since identified the person responsible, in what is a great outcome for the Shoalhaven City Council Ranger Services team.
Council’s Rangers engaged in an investigation following the illegal dumping. Their investigation led them to an individual who was formally interviewed and has since admitted to the act. The individual has been issued with a $4,000 penalty notice and a cost compliance notice. This will see Council recover all costs incurred for the clean-up, transport and disposal of the waste from the offending individual.
The community is being reminded that fines apply for individuals and corporations caught illegally dumping in the Shoalhaven.
Residents are also reminded that West Nowra, Huskisson and Ulladulla Recycling and Waste Depots are still in operation. However, Council asks residents to restrict their activities at this challenging time to protect the health of staff, themselves and the community.
