Auckland Council is offering to install a CCTV camera at an illegal dumping "hot spot" in South Auckland.
An unusually large and unsightly pile of inorganic rubbish has appeared at the privately owned property on Robertson Rd, Mangere.
As well as the camera offer, the council said it was investigating witness statements and other evidence with a view to prosecuting the culprits.
"Private landowners are responsible for clearing rubbish on their land, and in this case the landowner has been actively managing the site to prevent further dumping," council waste solutions manager Ian Stupple said.
"Having said that, illegal dumping is highly undesirable because of its negative social and financial impacts, and we are keen to help as much as we can to deter this behaviour, and maintain clean, healthy and tidy streets."
