Landfill facilities must be managed to a high environmental standard to reduce any risk of harm to the environment and the community.

The EPA enforces strict rules for land pollution to deter illegal dumping of waste including asbestos, waste tyres, hazardous waste, and restricted solid waste. There is a defence against a land pollution charge for unlicensed landfills, if those facilities maintain certain minimum standards.

Waste facilities in NSW are required by law to submit various reports to the EPA.
