Will there be more fly tipping if we remove kerbside recycling?

An increase in fly tipping wouldn't normally be linked to the removal of kerbside recycling. Most residents will do the right thing for their community and purchase another Council bag if they need more rubbish bags.

Fly tipping is normally confined to an age and demographic. Fly tipping can be controlled by properly resourcing the Council Compliance Team. Case studies prove that fly tipping will reduce in cost and frequency when people know they'll be held to account for their non-compliant actions.

Council fly tipping costs are presently estimated to be under $100k per year.
