Wenita is increasingly finding household rubbish dumped in our forests, particularly along more secluded roads.
Illegal dumping can cause serious environmental and public health risks. Rubbish often spills down banks and into waterways, creating hazards for the environment and for the forestry workers responsible for cleaning it up.
There is no excuse for travelling into a forest to dispose of rubbish rather than taking it to an authorised landfill or transfer station. Dumping waste on forestry land is no different from leaving it on someone else’s private property.
Wenita will inspect any illegally dumped rubbish for evidence that may identify those responsible. Relevant information will be passed to the police and other appropriate authorities.
Please dispose of your rubbish responsibly and help us protect our forests, waterways and workers.
