Mat Oliver, a four wheel driving enthusiast from Wauchope who has been trekking through forests for close to a decade, said the recent influx of trash being dropped off is the worst he has seen and is leading the charge to make a change.

Along with members of the Port Macquarie 4WD and Broken Bago Off-Road Club, Mr Oliver and the crew will spend their own time and money cleaning up the items which range from television sets to lounges, car parts and everything in between.

"We are all so sick of seeing the trash being left out in the bush," he said.

"People have had accidents when driving through the forests due to not seeing the large piles of mess so it's at a very serious stage. It's the worst I've seen."

Mr Oliver claims they have caught out several people due to some items having names and addresses left on them, however the people don't want a bar of it.

"We've called up people who we know have dumped the stuff, but all they do is turn around and say 'it wasn't us, we paid someone to dump our rubbish'," he said.

He has been working tirelessly with the Port Macquarie Hastings Council and Forests NSW who have been supportive of the efforts to make a difference.

Forests NSW will provide a barbeque for the team and hosted by the Rotary Club of Wauchope, and will also supply bags and cut-proof gloves, said Central Region operations team leader Tamara Campbell.

"I think it's a big issue and to have people who are self aware to help with the clean up is great," she said.

"Unfortunately we aren't able to be out there all the time whereas people like Mr Oliver keep their eyes on things as regular occupants of the tracks. 

"It really is great to see their enthusiasm and that they are volunteering to keep the forest clean for the range of people that use it."

Heavy fines are currently in place for anyone caught dumping rubbish and items, which far outweighs the cost of taking items to the local tip.

As for a way to prevent people from illegal dumping Mr Oliver had some ideas that he hopes the council and Forest NSW implement sooner rather than later.

"Surveillance cameras would be the way to go," he said.

"Lowering tip fees are also a possibility to encourage people to properly get rid of their waste in the right way.

"One of the big things is looking towards the future. We have to raise public awareness about this and ensure the forests are kept clean for future generations."
