Help Keep Our Bayous Clean
Stormwater pollution can result from contaminated runoff from urban areas as it drains from streets or property through the municipal stormwater drainage system and into our waterways. The contaminated stormwater may affect water bodies we use for fishing, swimming and providing drinking water.

Help Stop Polluters
Illegal dumping harms our environment, wildlife, and community. When trash, chemicals, or other waste are dumped into our bayous, they pollute the water, damage ecosystems, and create health risks for people and animals. Reporting illegal dumping is a simple but powerful way to protect Houston’s bayous. By speaking up, you’re helping to preserve these natural spaces for everyone to enjoy and ensuring they remain safe and healthy for future generations.
If you see illegal dumping, please report it. You have the option to remain anonymous, and your report could lead to significant consequences for polluters, such as fines or mandatory cleanup efforts that truly make a difference. Every report helps hold those responsible accountable and helps maintain the beauty and health of our bayous. Together, we can take a stand against pollution and ensure these vital waterways are protected for years to come. Take action today—your voice matters!
