How this category is extracted

What counts as illegal dumping: Reports of bulk items, construction debris, or other materials dumped illegally on public property or in unauthorized locations.

In Louisville’s raw 311 feed, the following 2 service_type values roll into illegal dumping:

  • Illegal Dumping
  • TRASH PVT PROP

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <louisville_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Illegal Dumping',
  'TRASH PVT PROP'
)

Analyst tip: LA uses 'Illegal Dumping Item Pickup', Chicago uses 'Fly Dumping Complaint', Oakland uses 'ILLDUMP', Calgary uses 'Bylaw - Material on Public Property'. Cities without a dedicated dumping service_type typically log these under street_cleaning or building_maintenance.
