Two women have been filmed brazenly sweeping out their ute tray full of rubbish onto the side of a country road, despite the ongoing effort to eliminate illegal dumping.
A Perth man filmed the woman and her passenger emptying their rubbish onto Brook Road in Kenwick, in the city’s outer southeast, about 12.30pm on Saturday.
The local shared a video of the illegal dumpers alongside the caption: ‘Welcome to Country ceremony.’
The brief video showed a red Mitsubishi Triton parked beside the road while the women threw bags of rubbish straight onto the ground.
The pair then used rakes to pull any loose pieces of rubbish onto the dirt.
The man who shot the video claimed the pair were ‘Indigenous’ and had an Aboriginal flag on display on their window.
The local said he was shocked by the duo dumping their rubbish in broad daylight, not to mention in front of a sign that warned about hefty fines for illegal waste.
Fines for illegally dumping waste can reach up to $125,000 for corporations and $62,500 for individuals in Western Australia.

The area is also known for helping residents stay on top of their waste with each home provided four free skip bins a year.
The man who filmed the women said: ‘They were really brazen, there were three people in the car, they saw me with the camera and the only thing they did was flip the bird as I drove away.’
Dozens of Aussies lashed out at the litterbugs and called for police to crack down on them.
‘Jesus this p***es me off! Good job for filming them! How does anyone think this is okay?’ one wrote.
‘No wonder why the country is slowly going down the s***hole,’ another said.
‘You wouldn’t see this in Japan, Singapore and so on. Countries where the people respect the land and look after it.’
The Mitsubishi’s registration appears to show it expired in November 2025.
Australia has been facing an ongoing illegal dumping epidemic with the most cases, almost 50 per cent, busted in Victoria.

More than 200,000 reports of illegal dumping are made nationwide every year.
The Victorian Government launched a $8.5 million Illegal Dumping Clean-Up Rebate Program for 2025 and 2026.
The scheme helped ‘provide support to local government authorities and other land managers for clean-up activities of illegally dumped waste’ by covering large portions of costs.
