Our animal rangers do more than just patrol parks - they make a big difference to pet owners and animals across Greater Dandenong.

Take this sweet boy, a dog who went missing recently. His photo was shared online but never officially reported. Our rangers saw it, remembered his face and days later they found him hiding at a property. They knew instantly that it was him and reunited him with his family.

From reuniting pets to responding to reports, our rangers go above and beyond every day. 🐾

Dumped rubbish isn’t just ugly, it’s illegal and bad for the environment.

Instead of dumping rubbish, there are easy and responsible ways to get rid of unwanted items:

✅ Book a hard rubbish collection
📦 Drop off items at a Reuse and Recycle Drop Off Day
♻️ Use Recycle Mate to find your nearest recycling or drop-off location

Let’s work together to keep our community clean. Visit our website for more information, greaterdandenong.vic.gov.au/keep-it-clean
