Illegal Dumping
Illegal Dumping is defined in Florida Statutes Title XXIX. Public Health § 403.413. Florida Litter Law.
Dumping litter prohibited - Unless otherwise authorized by law or permit, it is unlawful for any person to dump litter in any manner or amount:
- In or on any public highway, road, street, alley, or thoroughfare, including any portion of the right-of-way thereof, or any other public lands, except in containers or areas lawfully provided therefor. When any litter is thrown or discarded from a motor vehicle, the operator or owner of the motor vehicle, or both, shall be deemed in violation of this section;
- In or on any freshwater lake, river, canal, or stream or tidal or coastal water of the state, including canals. When any litter is thrown or discarded from a boat, the operator or owner of the boat, or both, shall be deemed in violation of this section; or
- In or on any private property, unless prior consent of the owner has been given and unless the dumping of such litter by such person will not cause a public nuisance or otherwise be in violation of any other state or local law, rule, or regulation.
“Litter” means any garbage; rubbish; trash; refuse; can; bottle; box; container; paper; tobacco product; tire; appliance; mechanical equipment or part; building or construction material; tool; machinery; wood; motor vehicle or motor vehicle part; vessel; aircraft; farm machinery or equipment; sludge from a waste treatment facility, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility; or substance in any form resulting from domestic, industrial, commercial, mining, agricultural, or governmental operations.
Unauthorized disposal of waste on any public or private property is illegal. Dumping items like tires, debris, furniture, and hazardous materials not only harms the environment but it decreases neighborhood property values and costs taxpayers millions of dollars in clean-up costs. To report illegal dumping, email the City of North Miami Beach Code Compliance Department at [email protected]. Please include the details and the description of the items dumped, location, and the date and time of the incident.
