Why DumpRadar

A straight answer, not a wall of data

Other tools give you a pin on a map or a stack of raw inspection records. DumpRadar turns that into a plain answer about your address.

Risk zones

Color-coded zones around every site: red is closest and highest concern, green is far enough not to worry. Riskier sites get wider zones.

Emissions

The methane each site reports to the EPA, year by year. It's the most direct sign of how much landfill gas is escaping.

Records

Each site's EPA inspections, violations, and penalties, checked live every time you open its report.

Type of waste

What kind of waste a site takes, from household trash to construction debris to industrial, and what that tends to release into the air.

Flood risk

If a site sits in a floodplain, a flood could expose harmful contaminants that were buried there.

Who's nearby

How many people live near each site, and whether the area already faces more pollution than most.

The zones

Four zones, from closest to safest

Every site gets the same four zones. How wide they are depends on the site.

How the zones are drawn
Red Zone · Closest to the site

The area of greatest concern.

Orange Zone · A short distance out

Poses potential risks.

Yellow Zone · Farther out

Low concern day to day.

Green Zone · Far enough away

Not expected to affect you.
