Help needed to identify illegal dumpers

The Team from Whakatāne District Council

šŸ˜” This is NOT the same photo from different angles. These are two separate instances of illegal dumping on Monday and today.

To really salt the wound, this illegal dumping has taken place in Awatapu Lagoon behind Cutler Crescent in the exact same location. To say we are disappointed is the understatement of 2019.

If you see illegal dumping, can you please report it anonymously to Council - details such as a car rego are a good start.

We know it costs money to use the transfer station, but this only covers the cost of responsible removal and disposal of rubbish.

We really need your help on this.
