The Government is taking a holistic approach to tackle illegal dumping through implementation of the NSW Illegal Dumping Strategy 2017–21. The strategy outlines a range of actions to reduce illegal dumping using six approaches:
- Building an evidence base
- Stakeholder engagement and capacity building
- Education and awareness
- Prevention, infrastructure and clean-up
- Regulation and enforcement
- Evaluation and monitoring.
The strategy is supported by $65 million of funding provided through the Waste Less, Recycle More initiative.
