Tasmanian Government launches Report Rubbish reporting tool to help reduce litter and dumping

Posted 30 September 2021

---

The Tasmanian public can easily report litter and dumping of rubbish on public land on their smartphones, tablets and computers via a simple web application which forwards reports automatically to the relevant land manager.

Developed by the state government to help reduce littering and dumping, Report Rubbish requests information about the location, quantity and type of rubbish found.

The system automatically forwards the report to the relevant authority alerting them that rubbish has been dumped on their land.

For land managers, a second, parallel, system called the Litter and Dumping Management System (LaDMS) provides land managers with a tool for managing reports made through Report Rubbish.

Access to LaDMS is available for land managers and service providers only. To get access to LaDMS your organisation will need to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
