Reporting illegal dumping
Cleaning up illegally dumped rubbish in the District costs ratepayers tens of thousands of dollars each year.
To help us help you we'd be grateful if you could report illegally dumped rubbish as soon as you see it. Please call 0800TRASHY (0800872749). All calls will be treated in confidence.
We'll follow up as soon as we hear from residents and do our best to identify and prosecute culprits. Thanks in advance for your help in keeping the our environment pristine.
Please note: It is illegal to leave any pre-paid rubbish bags at lay-by areas, intersections or at the end of rural roads. If you do so you are in breach of Council's Waste Bylaw that prohibits waste from being placed anywhere but in an approved place on the day of collection. Usually this is outside the property from which the rubbish originates.
