Illegal dumping is dumping of any waste, whether it is oil, furniture, appliances, trash, litter or landscaping cuttings, etc., upon any public right-of-way, City property or private property, without consent of the owner.

 

The Code Enforcement Department with the assistance of the Wharton Police Department patrols City neighborhoods daily to deter illegal dumping and investigate citizen complaints. Community help is essential to catching and deterring illegal dumping. 

 

The City encourages anyone who encounters an illegal dump that has already taken place to report it. If you observe someone dumping illegally, please take down the following information:

  • Date, time and location of incident

  • Description of vehicle and license plate number- Photos (optional)

  • Description of person(s) dumping

  • What items/materials were being dumped- Photos (optional)

  • Your name and phone number (optional)
