A Horsham man has been fined $395 for illegally dumping expired food waste on the edge of the city.

The incident occurred on Curran Road, where the man disposed of old food items that could have been placed in a household litter bin.

The fine was issued under Section 115(1) of the Environment Protection Act 2017.
