Illegal dumping in Macomb County is a Michigan state offense under NREPA's littering law, with civil fines rising by volume and felony penalties for infectious waste. The county Health Department may also act on dumping that creates a health nuisance.
Dumping trash, debris, or hazardous material on public or private property without authorization is prohibited statewide under Part 87 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. Penalties scale with the amount of litter: less than one cubic foot is a state civil infraction with a fine up to $800; larger amounts escalate to misdemeanor and felony charges, and dumping infectious waste or sharps is a felony. Local police, sheriff's deputies, and conservation officers all enforce it. The Macomb County Health Department can additionally abate dumping that creates a documented public-health nuisance, and EGLE regulates the disposal facilities themselves under Part 115.
Less than one cubic foot carries a civil fine up to $800 under MCL 324.8905a; volumes over three cubic feet become misdemeanors, and infectious-waste dumping is a felony fined up to $5,000, plus cleanup costs.
