It can seem like a huge effort to go about skip bin hire in Sydney but illegal dumping is far more of a hassle. In recent months, people in various parts of Sydney have been skipping skip bin hire fees and disposing of their waste illegally. Possibly the most alarming case of refusing skip hire and turning to illegal dumping was committed at the start of June this year. Presumably under the cover of darkness, someone or a group of people drove their waste to the Royal National Park located south of Sydney. And what did they dump? The standard old mattress and armchair? Broken white goods and other appliances? No. Up to five tonnes of asbestos material was dumped near the car park. Earlier this year, the Hills Shire Council pursued legal action against a developer who thought that skip hire in Sydney was too difficult a task. An estimated 200 cubic metres of excavated material was dumped at Excelsior Reserve. It was the reports from concerned neighbours that meant the culprit was found. The council must now look at stabilising and revegetating the site in Excelsior Reserve. With the New South Wales’ government also recently announcing changes to penalties for illegal dumping, it may turn out that it would have been much cheaper for both culprits to pay the fee for appropriate skip hire. The penalties for illegal dumping now include a maximum on-the-spot fine for individuals of $1500, and $5000 for businesses, and, for repeat offenders, up to seven years in jail. So if you think it is all a bit much to hire a skip bin in Sydney, think again.
