Cotswold District Council, GB develops illegal dumping report tool with interactive map
Residents can report illegal dumping incidents by placing new pins on the map. A survey asks the respondent for details including the amount and type of waste as well as if the incident took place on public land. The incident map updates each hour, providing a real-time overview of illegal dumping events for local officials. Cotswold District Council also designed the map to reduce repeated reports of the same incidents.
