Illegal Dumping
Please report illegally dumping by contacting Northumberland county by email or phone.
In your report, please note the location of the garbage, along with a description of the vehicle and person, if available. Please do not open any bags or remove any evidence.
Compost
Composting greatly reduces the amount of garbage set at the curb each week. Composting kitchen scraps, leaves, and more creates a nutrient-rich soil that can be used in gardens around your home.
