Reporting an Environmental Concern or Problem
Many environmental issues including concerns about trash, litter, noise, recycling pickup, and household chemical disposal (paints, pesticides, oils, etc.) are handled at the local level. Before contacting the Department of Energy and Environment Protection (DEEP), you should first try contacting your local selectmen, code enforcement officers, health department, or fire or police officials. Environmental emergencies should be reported directly to DEEP.
