Report Illegal Dumping on Collin County Roads and Land

Collin County Home & Property

Illegal dumping in Collin County is more than ugly roadside trash. Dumped sites can include household trash, yard waste, appliances, furniture, chemicals, and biological waste.

That waste can create health, safety, soil, and water problems. Public Works asks residents to report illegal dumping, and the Sheriff Office investigates reports. The county page lists a 24-hour hotline at 972-547-5350.

After storms, move-outs, tenant cleanups, or contractor work, unknown waste should not go into a ditch, creek, or remote road shoulder. Use the report line and legal disposal options.
