Australians Snap into Action on Tyre Dumping – Here’s How You Can Help

October 6, 2025

Illegal tyre dumping is more than just an eyesore. It’s a risk to our environment, our communities, and our health. The good news? Australians are stepping up in record numbers to tackle the problem head-on.

Thanks to the partnership between Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA) and Snap Send Solve, everyday people have the power to report dumped or stockpiled tyres directly to local authorities – right from their smartphones. And the numbers speak for themselves.

TSA is a not-for-profit organisation that works to ensure Australia’s tyres are managed responsibly. TSA drives innovation in tyre recycling and resource recovery, reducing environmental impact and supporting a circular economy. By partnering with industry, government, and communities, TSA helps turn end-of-life tyres into new opportunities and sustainable outcomes.

By using Snap Send Solve community reports, TSA can show where tyre dumping is happening, highlight the extra costs it puts on councils, and call for fairer rules to stop waste crime.

These figures show a powerful trend: more Australians are getting involved, and their efforts are making a real difference. Each “Snapper” represents a community member who took just a few seconds to report tyres – but collectively, those seconds add up to thousands of tyres identified and addressed.

This data is also helping TSA highlight the scale of the issue nationally — supporting research, stronger regulation, and investment in better solutions.
