The plea from Derrimut MP Telmo Languiller came after rubbish piled up again at a dumping hot spot near Ginifer railway station in St Albans.

Mr Languiller said it was shameful that residents were failing to take the right steps in disposing of waste.

"They should be ashamed of themselves. It is just a disgrace."

Mr Languiller said Brimbank Council should act quickly to clear up the rubbish before the site attracted more dumping.

Council's general manager for infrastructure and environment, Paul Younis, conceded that illegal dumping was an issue but said initiatives such as the council's rapid response unit were achieving results.

"The rapid response unit drives to the site of the reported rubbish to make an inspection and, if possible, collects the reported material on the spot. The council's dumped rubbish unit also proactively inspects numerous hot spot locations across the municipality ..."

Mr Younis said anyone with concerns about rubbish left along the rail line near Ginifer station should contact Metro Trains.

People who witness illegal dumping can note down vehicle registration numbers and phone the council on 92494000.

Dumpers face fines up to $907.
