How to Report Illegal Dumping

Illegal/illicit dumping and discharges (e.g., trash, oil, sewage, and chemicals) are a major cause of storm water pollution. Public witness complaints provide the most common source of information. Illegal/illicit dumping and discharges should be reported to the jurisdiction where the activity is taking place.

In addition to your local jurisdiction (who you should call first), the Southern Nevada Health District also responds to illegal/illicit dumping complaints. The Southern Nevada Health District Environmental Health Division can be reached at: (702) 759-0600, Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, or (702) 759-1000 after hours. Many local jurisdictions also have complaint forms that can be completed online. See your local jurisdiction’s website for more details.
