Get me in trouble with who?
The police? Nope, not their concern.
The council? Nope, not their concern.
The strata? Good luck with that, I'm on the executive committee. They'd get more in trouble for dumping their illegal office stuff in the dumpster room in the first place.
Could they sue me for some reason? Sure. Anyone is free to attempt to sue anyone at any time for any reason. Good luck.

Use your position on the executive commitee to pass a strata "by law" that all non complying rubbish will be seized & sold to the highest bidder.
As no one else is likely to be remotely interested, bid 1 cent, & it is all yours free & clear!

"No skin off the noses" of those who are non complying, either, so they will.continue with the practice.

I guess I'm lucky because my workplace has a deal with a local auction house to auction off surplus equipment (T&M and a lot of other stuff) once it has sat in reapplication for a while. This has two benefits. (1) at work, it can be possible to score some very expensive equipment  you need for your project for no cost from the reapplication stash and (2) if you see something you want for yourself, just keep an eye on the upcoming auctions in the next couple months.
