How can you report illegal waste management ?
You can report illegal waste management to Crimestoppers or to the Northern Ireland Environment Agency’s Environmental Crime Unit.
What you should do:
visually try to work out what sort of waste it is and how much of it there is
make a note of the dates and times you saw any waste being tipped and its exact location
Do not:
touch waste – it may contain syringes, toxic substances or asbestos
disturb the site – there may be evidence there that will assist an investigation
put yourself at risk by tackling anyone you think is involved or by taking photographs or making yourself obvious
