• Open dumping is a class D felony. Violators are responsible to pay for the remediation and proper disposal of the waste at an open dump site. • The environmental damage to the soil and water can be both significant and irreversible. • Piles of waste take away from Indiana’s naturally beautiful landscape. Open dumping can also lower property values of surrounding homes. Where can I get more information? • To find the local Solid Waste Management District, visit Recycle Indiana’s “What’s Happening in my County” map. • To report an open dump or if someone you know is involved in illegal dumping, contact the Indiana Department of Environmental Management by phone at (800) 451-6027 or (317) 308-3040 or write to 100 North Senate Avenue, MC 65-45-2, Indianapolis, IN 46204-2251.
