Littering and illegal dumping can have serious effects on both the environment and the aesthetics of our local areas. The Shire of Mundaring is committed to investigating all reports and maintaining the cleanliness of our streets and parks.
 
To help keep our community clean, litter bins have been strategically placed throughout the shire.

What is litter?

Litter refers to any refuse that is discarded in an open or public place. Depending on its nature, litter can cause environmental harm or personal injury.
 

Common types of litter include:

  • Material thrown, allowed to fall, or blown from a vehicle
  • Waste placed in reserves or public spaces
  • Domestic waste placed in public rubbish bins
  • Bulk waste placed on the verge before the collection date.
Littering is an offence under the Litter Act 1979, and modified penalties may apply.
