Illegal Dumping
According to 13 Investigates’ findings, in 2023, under then-Mayor Sylvester Turner, 5,296 311 requests were made to the city, and Houston police issued 444 citations.
However, in 2024, the first year of Mayor John Whitmire’s term, the numbers aren’t good, even though his office has previously said they are aggressively pursuing illegal dumping.
Records show in 2024, more people were reporting illegal dumping than the previous year, with 9,111 311 requests, but HPD only issued 37 citations.
