Take a current photo from a safe place, confirm the pin, and send only the details that help someone find the spot.
A good report is short, current, and specific. It helps someone understand where the problem is, what kind of material is there, and whether the next step is cleanup, disposal planning, or an official safety report.
If the same spot already has a pin, open that report and confirm whether the litter is still there. That keeps repeat areas visible without filling the map with duplicates.
Open the mapStand in a safe place. Do not step into traffic, unstable ground, private property, water, sharp debris, or suspicious material just to get a better angle.
Read safety guidanceA helpful note can be as simple as “behind the guardrail near the north entrance” or “bags beside the creek trail sign.” Keep private names, faces, plates, and unrelated details out.
Go to the formLitterMeNot is best for public cleanup visibility: roadside trash, dumped bags, scattered bottles, overflowing public-area debris, and repeat spots that need attention. It is not a replacement for emergency, law-enforcement, environmental, or municipal reporting when trained response may be needed.
The report should help real follow-through, not just collect a photo. Short, safe, privacy-minded details make it easier to review, map, and connect the spot to useful next steps.
Reports may be screened for spam, unsafe details, private information, and unclear locations before they are used for public map context.
A useful report can point people toward map confirmation, disposal planning, cleanup resources, or group coordination without making the page feel crowded.
For hazards, blocked roads, private property, active dumping, or time-sensitive risks, use the appropriate official local channel first.
No. You can submit a litter report without an account. Signed-in members can choose tracked credit when they want saved progress tied to their profile.
Use official local channels first for needles, chemicals, leaking containers, blocked roads, private-property disputes, injured people, active dumping, or anything that needs trained response.
A useful report has a current safe photo, a reliable pin, a nearby detail only when needed, and a short note that avoids faces, license plates, addresses, and unrelated private details.
