Make it personal

See what's being dumped near you. Then write to your MP.

Enter a postcode. We'll show you the river, the company, the hours, and pre-fill an email to the MP who's supposed to do something about it. Their inbox is the point.

We don't store your postcode. We don't store your email. We don't have an account system or a newsletter. This is a leaderboard, not a startup.
