Moreton Bay Regional Council is fighting back against illegal dumpers who are costing ratepayers more than $6.5 million in clean-up fees every year.
Mayor Peter Flannery said last financial year there was 263 tonnes of waste illegally dumped.
That equates to roughly 7,000 wheelie bins worth of waste that includes hazardous waste like asbestos, which needs to be cleaned up and processed by Council at the cost of ratepayers.
Mr Flannery said the new state-funded technology, called the MicroPhazir Asbestos Analyser, is a game changer when combating illegal dumping.
