Don’t dump it, recycle it!

Did you know dumping waste on public grounds (or on your verge outside of collection dates) is illegal and you may receive a fine of up to $10,000.

The image to the right of screen is a recent photo of a pile of wheels and tyres dumped on Roper Street, O’Connor. It’s a fire and safety hazard for people and wildlife, makes the area look untidy and it is costs money for it to be removed and recycled.

We’re working with the police to identify vehicles or individuals but let our Community Safety team know if you have any info (or any tip offs for other illegal dumping) to 1300 360 666 or [email protected].

You can also report illegal dumping The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s Pollution Watch Hotline on 1300 784 782 or email [email protected] or CrimestoppersWA. Visit the Department’s website for more info.

As a Freo resident you can drop off your unwanted junk at the Fremantle Recycling Centre with four free passes a year. Visit the Fremantle Recycling Centre page for info.
