FAQ

About TrashMap

Do I need an account?
No. TrashMap is free and requires no account — anyone can file or browse a report.
What counts as illegal dumping on public land?
Any waste left or discarded on public land outside designated facilities — household trash, construction debris, appliances, vehicles, tires, or hazardous materials.
Will my report reach BLM Law Enforcement?
TrashMap is a public registry, not an enforcement channel. For active crimes or hazardous spills, call 911 or BLM Law Enforcement directly.
Is my submission public?
Yes. Photo, GPS coordinates, severity, and description are all public. Don't include personal information you wouldn't want shared.
What severity levels can I report?
Minor, moderate, severe, and hazardous — pick the one that best fits the scale and risk of the site.
