Garbage-dumping duo fined $10,000 for trashing Sydney roads

Two people have been fined more than $10,000 after they were caught dumping a tipper truck full of rubbish on roads in western Sydney.

Security footage captured the pair emptying a mountain of trash from a white truck on Belmore Street in Belmore late at night in November.

"The footage shows the pair jumping from the truck under cover of darkness with the tray raised and emptying the contents onto the roadway," the Canterbury-Bankstown Council said.

Mayor Bilal El-Hayek said the rubbish stretched from Allegra Avenue to Chapel Lane.

The truck owner and the person responsible for the waste were fined $9500 for transporting excess waste to an unlawful waste facility and failing to comply with a notice.

They were also ordered to cover council clean-up costs, which totalled $2000.

"The community is fed up with those who cut corners and dump on our City," El-Hayek said.

"May this act as a warning to all those who are thinking about dumping – you will be caught, and you will be fined."

The council has made an effort to tackle illegal dumping and has seen a 54 per cent reduction in offences since last year.

Residents are encouraged to report instances of illegal dumping online here or calling council on 9707 9000.
