Education resources: illegal dumping

The EPA's research on illegal dumping showed that most people know illegal dumping is wrong. They know it is socially unacceptable, however most people don’t think they will get caught.

Using this research the EPA developed a suite of Report Illegal Dumping (RID) branding that asks members of the community to report dumpers and warn dumpers they are likely to be caught. The RID branding can be freely used by organisations working to prevent illegal dumping. The suite includes a user guide, signage, banners, investigation tape and more.

Illegal dumping at charities – resources

We have developed education materials to remind people to donate responsibly. NSW charitable recyclers spend millions of dollars annually disposing of donations dumped outside their doors and collection bins. The social media tiles are available to remind householders how to donate responsibly.

These materials can be freely used and shared by individuals or organisations working to prevent illegal dumping around charities.
