Illegal Dummping Of Rubbish An Attitutde Of ' I Don't Care If I Leave A Mess Community Attitude'!

Time and time again I have reported of the illegal dumping of rubbish within Mount Druitt suburbs, within Blacktown Local Government Area.

Council does it's best to educate the community, Mayors do their very best to explain the major costs involved to remove dumped rubbish in yearly budgets, schools in my young days taught us to be neat and tidy, total respect for our home, streets and community. This should be promoted further!

I would like the Mayor and Councillors, to produce a 'Healthy Blacktown Environment means a Healthier Community' video document and this video could be shown as a promotion on keeping our environment clean, on events like Australia Day, Rooty Hill Fire Works celebration and referring to Council's Youtube site as well. In this video could be explained  health and financial costs to the community and council.



The instant fines are pretty steep if caught. Click here for For NSW EPA Fines!!!

One thing I notice is when there is a legal pick up of  waste removal, Council doesn't provide residents to label it, so it is clearly marked,  with a letter of confirmation and a reference number on it! This would make it easier to identify illegal dumpsters!

Blacktown City Council must now take more immediate action on illegal dumpers by employing more 'Rid Inspectors' which catch the community off guard.

Council needs to update The Blacktown City Council Illegal Dumping Action Plan 2011 

It doesn't specifically mention how community members are told. I think poster like what is on
Click here for an illegal dumping website for North NSW Councils  and all illegal dumping signs must include possible fines included and must be clearly be in positions were residents can see it, clearly. Viewing Fines on notice board can reduce  the risk of illegal waste dumpers doing their job.

The Council's Action Plan could assist them in producing a video that  has been previously mentioned. The most important thing Council to do is change it's website on this so  people can report illegal dumping of rubbish and be fined appropriate.

Let's look at it as an individuals. You and I mostly live in a cleaned residence and we clean it ourselves. You and I live in a clean community if the Council cleans it up, we pay for it! We pay for it in a health way and a  financial way. I'm sure local health authorities agree with myself that the less polluted our community is the more healthier our community is. The more illegal waste dumpers are caught and fined, the less financial burden is to the community!

Surely as a community member of Mount Druitt, you agree wholeheartedly with this improvement to clean up the community.
