The partnership will make it easier for people to anonymously report illegal dumping, by simply searching ‘’Crime Stoppers WA’’ online or phoning 1800 333 000. The matter will then by directed straight to Department of Water and Environmental Regulation investigators.

The Shire of Derby/West Kimberley encourages people to report any suspicious activity around illegal dumping by either contacting Crime Stoppers online or by phone. Reports are anonymous and help keep our communities and environment safe.
