Illegal dumper at Jarrahdale State Forest rumbled by addressed boxes

A careless dumper might wish he stumped up for tipping fees after police found his name and address among piles of rubbish in state forest.
Jarrahdale State Forest is one of a handful of bushland areas on Perth’s fringes which is notorious for illegal dumping.
The Department of Environment Regulation has ramped up efforts to catch offenders in recent years by setting up a task force and rolling out motion-sensing cameras.
In April, a 74-year-old man was fined $15,000 for dumping fire extinguisher powder in the forest in December 2015.
That offender, Vaurn Cornish, was convicted after two witnesses provided photographic evidence of the dumping.
But the investigation into this latest case of dumping could be more straightforward.
A mother of six is worried about her children's health after the illegal dumping.
Mundijong Police posted a photo on Twitter yesterday of piles of rubbish strewn across a gravel road.
Insulation, furniture and children’s toys can be seen among the general waste.
“If you dump this filth in Jarrahdale then make sure boxes don't have your name and address on them,” Mundijong police said.
“Now we know where to send the bill.”
The maximum fine for illegal dumping is $62,500 for individuals and $125,000 for corporations.
Anyone with information about dumping should call the DER’s 24-hour pollution hotline on 1300 784 782.
