Type of offence
1. Deposit industrial waste without authority at Kinglake West on 15 January 2023, contrary to s.133(3).
Background of offence
On six occasions between 15 January 2023 and 9 February 2023 the accused deposited industrial waste at a place unauthorised to receive industrial waste, the Hancock Plantation Victoria (HVP). The accused used his airtasker profile to accept jobs to remove waste and would deposit it at HVP, unbeknown to the owners of the property.
HVP employees took photographs of waste on their property on 1 February 2023 and 8 February 2023. They then observed and took footage of the accused depositing industrial waste on 9 February 2023 and EPA employees attended on 22 February 2023.
The following waste was deposited on each occasion:
• A L-shaped couch for a fee of $140
• 40 bags of household rubbish for a fee of $155
• Construction waste including drywall timber, tiles, bathtub, toilet and appliances for a fee of $1000
• Construction waste for a fee of $600
• A grey couch for a fee of $109
• Construction waste including timber, PVC piping, corrugated metal, bricks, paint drums, plastic sheeting and astro turf.
The waste was ultimately removed at the expense of the landowners.
