Dumping items like couches, mattresses, TVs, and tyres isn’t just harmful to the environment, it’s illegal, with fines of up to $1,000 for offenders. Illegal dumping creates health and safety risks for our community and cleaning up these messes diverts resources that could be used elsewhere to benefit our community.

If you have large items to dispose of, don’t dump, book your free annual hard waste collection instead! Every household in the City of Mitcham gets one free pick-up every financial year, to book visit → https://bit.ly/4guiF13
