FAQ — Garbage & litter in Sydney
How do I report uncollected garbage in Sydney?
Take a photo of the garbage pile, open OpenStreetProblem, hit "+", confirm your location and submit. If the bin is overflowing, capture the bin in the frame so it's clear which collection point is missed.
Can I report illegal dumping?
Yes — illegal dumping is a critical category. Photograph the dump from a distance, do not include any people in frame, and add a brief description (when you noticed it, whether it's recurring). Reports are forwarded to Australia environmental enforcement where partnerships exist.
Will my garbage report be visible to the council?
Yes. Council and contractor accounts in Sydney subscribed to Garbage alerts get a real-time notification. Even where no council partnership exists, the public map creates pressure for collection improvements.
What if the garbage is on private property?
OpenStreetProblem focuses on public-space issues. If garbage is clearly on private land, mark it as such in the description — the report still helps residents, but enforcement is limited. For public roads, sidewalks, parks and waterways, full enforcement applies.
