Illegal dumping

Hundreds of illegal dump sites can be found throughout Volusia County. Cleaning up these sites cost the county and its residents approximately $100,000 annually. Three compliance officers from the Solid Waste Division police the 1,200 square miles of Volusia County to try to catch illegal dumpers.

You can help stop illegal dumping. Please report illegal dump sites. If you see someone illegally dumping trash, write down a brief description of the vehicle, person, date, time and, most importantly, the vehicle license plate number. Report the information to Volusia County's Solid Waste Division. DO NOT APPROACH THE ILLEGAL DUMPER!

Illegally dumping large amounts of debris or hazardous waste materials is a felony and those convicted face stiff penalties.
