Mayor Neeley hopes that residents will keep an eye out for illegal dumping, creating a deterrent to anyone who would consider polluting Flint’s neighborhoods with their trash. Residents can anonymously report illegal dumping to Crime Stoppers by clicking the button below, or by calling 1-800-422-JAIL(5245).

Report Illegal Dumping

The Blight Court has the ability to quickly and efficiently handle blight cases. The court has the ability to levy fines and fees on those who violate the city’s blight ordinances. It also has the authority to work with property owners to reduce fines for those who cooperate and are not repeat offenders.
