Illegal dumping prevention and clean up

The Office of Environment and Heritage has released for consultation a draft illegal dumping handbook for public land managers. Reporting incidences, recording facts, undertaking safe clean-up and working with others are some of the tasks to be undertaken when cleaning up and preventing illegal dumping. Tailored and persistent action is needed to combat illegal dumping.

The handbook contains illegal dumping case studies provided by public land managers. It also has a field sheet for recording incidents and a list of parameters for gathering and analysing the factors of an illegal dumping problem.

Written submissions close 5:00pm Friday 25 November 2011.
