If you’re completing a project that will create a significant amount of waste, then it must be correctly transported to a rubbish dump as illegal dumping has some hefty consequences. The severity of illegal dumping doesn’t just impact the individual but can have an adverse effect on local surroundings and others as we’ll discuss.

Make sure you are familiar with all the protocols regarding rubbish dumping and that if you are planning on taking a large mass of waste onto your property that it is all above board. It’s your responsibility as a business owner or resident that your waste is disposed of correctly.

Why Your Waste Needs to Go to a Rubbish Dump

Illegal dumping can pose a massive problem for the local community of Adelaide for a variety of reasons. Firstly, illegal dumping, especially of building waste, can pollute and damage waterways, soils and land.

Rubbish dumps like Metro Waste are equipped to handle dangerous waste such as chemicals and asbestos. If not properly discarded, hazardous waste such as those mentioned above could pose a genuine threat to the wellbeing of local communities.

You might not know that as a landowner you are legally liable if you’ve accepted waste onto your property. Local councils will assist you in taking your trash to a rubbish dump, and you run the risk of contaminating and reducing the value of the land.

What are the Costs?

Legitimate businesses and their owners can be disadvantaged comparatively because of illegal dumping activity. By avoiding rubbish dumping costs and licensing fees, other honest businesses are effectively being undermined.

The governments around Australia spend millions of dollars each year in clean-up costs which impact taxes, council rates and funnel funding into less desirable areas for the community.

The fines imposed via the South Australia's court system can reach up to 2 million dollars for rubbish dumping that has been deemed to cause environmental harm.

Fines for illegally accepting rubbish dumping can be up to $60,000 for an individual on a residential property. So, don’t risk the penalties and seek out the experts at the Metro Waste rubbish dump.
