This morning I announced significant new resources to tackle illegal dumping in Auckland.

For too long, illegal roadside rubbish dumping has blighted our city, harmed our environment and burdened ratepayers with the costs of clean-up. I’m sick and tired of it, Aucklanders are sick and tired of it and I’m calling on you to help Council tackle the problem.

We have made it easier for people to report illegal dumping by setting up 0800 NODUMP – a dedicated phone line to make reporting easy.

We are also hiring additional enforcement staff, doubling the number of surveillance cameras in hotspot areas and speeding up the process to clean up dumped material in public areas.

People have been asking for better information on what they can do with their residential waste, so we have made this material more accessible through www.makethemostofwaste.co.nz... and improved the council website to make it easier to find out about inorganic collections (aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...)

I’m calling on our communities not to accept the irresponsible actions of a few individuals and cowboy commercial outfits, and to report illegal dumping.
