Where several EnviroCrimes persistently occur together, in a particular area, there is a negative impact on the environment and the local community. When this happens co-ordinated action is required.

How you can get involved?

You, the local people have a very important role to play in targeting EnviroCrime.

This involves the following:

 

  • reporting EnviroCrime hot spots
  • suggesting improvements
  • playing an active part in community clean up days
  • implementing envirocrime prevention measures
  • recycling your rubbish using the appropriate recycling bins
  • helping to maintain the improvements that are achieved.
