🗑️ Someone dumped waste or is polluting — who do I report it to?

Direct answer

Fly-tipping, a leaking container, oil in a stream: report to Gemeindeverwaltung (llv.li) — the municipality clears public land and fines when there is evidence (a photo of the plate, a document in the waste). Larger pollution, industrial sites, chemicals, dead fish: Amt für Umwelt / Amt für Gesundheit (llv.li), the environmental inspectorate, which has a 24-hour line in most countries. Dumping in progress with a vehicle: Landespolizei Liechtenstein — Anzeige (+423 236 71 11) — do not confront.
