Crackdown on Illegal Dumping - Handbook for Local Government

The Crackdown on Illegal Dumping - Handbook for Local Government provides an insight into what motivates illegal dumpers and focuses on ways of minimising the opportunities that give rise to illegal dumping in NSW.

The handbook is designed to help local government crack down on illegal dumping and its particular causes. It suggests well-designed and well-focused methods that minimise opportunities for illegal dumping by modifying the environment, improving regulatory action, focusing education messages and improving services.

Councils will find that the handbook provides practical advice about developing, implementing and evaluating illegal dumping prevention programs. It also incorporates case studies that demonstrate illegal dumping prevention techniques in practice. The handbook can be downloaded as a complete document or in separate sections.
