ASBG's submission on the Inquiry Into Management and Disposal of Waste on Private Lands focuses on illegal dumping onto private lands. A few case studies where cited where members were confronted by buck passing by the three agencies, EPA, Council and Police in relation to illegally dumped waste. Additionally, in many cases where illegal dumping has occurred, the site owner victim ends up footing the bill to properly dispose of the waste material. ASBG proposed a number of ideas including:
- Improved Policing of illegally dumped waste
- Make it easier to report and have firm follow up action with clean up costs secured back to the dumper
- Working with the NSW Government to report such incidents, supported by Government guidelines.
