How it works
01
See illegal dumping site
If you find an illegal dump site, take note of its location, the type and amount of waste, license plate numbers, and a physical description of the violator(s) if witnessed.
*Do not touch any of the items dumped.
02
Submit a report
Try to provide as much information as possible to help authorities.
Reporting online allows you attach photographs and drop a pin on a map to further assist authorities.
03
Authorities investigate
Illegal dumping in Texas is a crime, and dump sites reported will be investigated under Texas Health and Safety Code 365. Illegal dumping contained in a closed barrel or drum, or for a commercial purpose carries increased penalties. Illegal dumping that results in the pollution of a waterway will be investigated under Chapter 26 of the Texas Water Code.
04
Dump site cleaned up
The municipality with jurisdiction for the location of the dump site typically cleans up the dump site at taxpayer cost. If a successful suit is brought against the violator, the violator may be required to reimburse the cost incurred to clean the site.
