Litter and Illegal Dumping

Learn how to help to keep our natural environment clean. Find out how to prevent illegal dumping, report incidents and prevent litter from ending up in our natural environment.

The City of Kwinana is committed to keeping our community clean and protecting the environment.

To prevent and manage litter and illegal dumping, the City:

  • Works to stop littering and illegal dumping.
  • Cleans up waste as quickly as possible.
  • Educates the community about the harm littering and illegal dumping can cause, such as environmental damage, risks to wildlife, and expensive clean-ups.

In 2023, the City created a Litter and Illegal Dumping Plan to set clear goals and actions to keep Kwinana clean.

The plan focuses on:

  1. Reducing litter and illegal dumping
  2. Improving how waste is managed
  3. Raising community awareness and encouraging action

Do not overfill public bins

Overfilling bins often create unsightly litter that damages our beautiful natural environment. Weather and animals can easily remove the overflowing waste from a bin.  If a public bin is full, please take your rubbish home and place it in your bin. 

Secure your load

If you have loaded your trailer or ute, remember to secure your load and prevent litter. Unsecured loads can cause unsightly roadside litter and can be dangerous.

Visit Unsecured Load Unsafe Road to find out more.
