Is your community affected by illegal dumping or constant littering? Are you unsure who is responsible or how to take action?

This guide from our Centre for Environmental Justice is here to help.

This guide is for anyone who wants to keep their community clean and safe—from tenants, homeowners, and residents, to landlords, businesses, and community groups. It also provides useful information for those working in local government or enforcement.

The guide outlines who is responsible for managing litter, the legal powers available to tackle the issue, and the steps you can take if you witness or are impacted by dumping or littering. It also includes contact details for where to report problems and how to escalate an issue if it’s not resolved.
