How do I report dumped or abandoned waste on WasteSpot?

Use the Report waste function on the map to submit the location and basic details for review.

Complete answer

The answer

A useful report identifies the location, type of dumped material and any immediate hazard. A photo can help document the situation, but avoid photographing people, vehicle plates or other personal information unless it is genuinely necessary.

WasteSpot is not an emergency service or enforcement authority. For fire, chemical danger, traffic hazards or other urgent risks, contact the appropriate local emergency or environmental authority.

What to do

  • Set the location accurately.
  • Describe the waste and hazard level.
  • Contact local authorities directly for urgent danger.
