Show the site without disturbing the waste
A wider photo helps show the extent and surroundings. A second view can clarify the type of material, where it is visible from a safe position.
- Add a road, track, entrance or nearby landmark and check the map location.
- Describe the visible waste and approximate extent; do not open bags to identify it.
- Mention blocked access, a nearby waterway or other visible impact.
- State when you saw it and whether you personally observed repeated dumping.
Report observations, not assumptions about a person
Do not identify someone as responsible merely because a name or brand appears on discarded material. Keep the report focused on what you actually saw. Use the relevant authority's designated process if you need to submit evidence of an alleged offense.
What happens after you submit
CleanApp accepts your report and returns a receipt. AI structures the observation, identifies relevant brands or places and helps group related reports. CleanApp works to route that information to relevant recipients, who can investigate and respond. Keep your receipt to check the status available for your report.
Common questions
Is fly-tipping the same reporting topic as illegal dumping?
Fly-tipping is a term commonly used for dumped waste. In your report, focus on the actual location, material and extent rather than needing to choose a legal classification.
Should I remove or inspect the dumped material first?
You do not need to handle waste to report it. Document what is visible and include any uncertainty about the contents.
You can start with what you saw.
Describe the problem, add an image if it helps and send.
