Illegal Dumping Complaint

Illegal dumping is when one cubic yard or more of material (about twice the size of a bathtub) is thrown out onto public or private property. The City accepts reports of chronic illegal dumping and dumping from a vehicle.

The City may help with the removal of unusually large items dumped in the street or sidewalk but does not remove items from private property, including community driveways and parking lots.

Through the Illegal Dumping Reward Program, you may be eligible to receive 50 percent of the fine collected for an illegal dumping crime. You must witness illegal dumping and fill out an affidavit that leads to a conviction.
