Illegal Dumping in Mendocino County
Illegal dumping is a crime and turns our beautiful communities into unsightly messes.
If you see illegal dump sites in your community, be sure to let us know. If you are able to, take a picture, note the exact location using an address, a mile marker, or GPS coordinates, describe the approximate size of the dump site, and identify the illegally dumped materials. Contact the City of Ukiah at 707-467-5719 to report illegal dump sites.
If you see illegal dumping occurring, please make note of the same information as above, in addition to the color, the make and model, the license plate(s) of the involved vehicle(s), and a description of any persons you observe. Be aware, when you observe illegal dumping taking place, you are witnessing a crime. Make sure to protect your own safety first. Do not attempt to stop the dumping or apprehend anyone involved. Provide the information about the illegal dumping to the County or City code enforcement office or local law enforcement first, then report the dump site to us.
What do you do if somebody has illegally dumped trash onto your property?
Unauthorized dumping on your personal property is a crime. Contact your local law and/or code enforcement with information regarding the dumping on your property. If the responsible party cannot be found, you are responsible for cleanup. You may consider contacting your insurance company to inquire about property cleanup coverage.
