Neighbours throw garbage in your empty plot, where can you complain?

Neighbour's Complaint: If your neighbour throws garbage in your empty plot and despite your repeated warnings, the neighbour does not listen, then this is how you can complain.

You can choose your friends but not your neighbours. And if the neighbour is rude or careless, then the problems increase. Some people have the habit of throwing garbage near their own house, and the people around them start throwing garbage on the empty plot or land near them.

You may try to stop them, but after a few days, the situation is the same. Such neighbours not only spread dirt but also become the reason for quarrels. People think that it is better if such issues are resolved by talking. But sometimes the matter gets escalated.

But in such cases, you should not fight directly. You should try talking peacefully at least once or twice, sometimes the matter gets resolved like this. But if the same attitude continues even after talking. Then it becomes necessary to take strict action.

If your neighbor does not listen despite repeated warnings, then you can complain to the local Municipal Corporation or Nagarpalika. Every city has helpline numbers and portals to deal with the problem of cleanliness and illegal garbage dumping.

You can file a complaint there and demand action and the officials can come to the spot and assess the situation. Apart from this, nowadays in many states there is also a facility to register a complaint online on the Swachhata App or Municipal Corporation website.

You just have to take a photo, give the location and submit the complaint. In such cases, the garbage thrower can also be fined. So along with this, the municipal body can make arrangements for regular cleaning of your plot.

Many times, such cases are not limited to just cleaning. Rather, they can go up to fights or police complaints. If the neighbors are constantly harassing and the matter is getting worse, then you can give a written complaint to the local police station or SDM office.
