What does council do about illegal dumping?

Council now has in place tools to penalise offenders who litter in our district and which will see a safer and healthier environment for our community.

We will investigate claims of illegally dumped rubbish and try to identify the offender.

Following the Litter Act 1979, Central Otago District Council now implements litter offences and littering fines up to $400.

For full list of Infringement Offences and Fee Structure can be located on our website (Linked below).
