Why a public record matters
A single complaint about a dumping site is easy to lose. A dated, photographed series of them at the same coordinates is not — and that is usually what turns a recurring site from somebody's private frustration into something an authority can prioritise.
Reports in Portugal stay visible on the map whether or not the local authority uses CleanSpot. Where it does, the same report also reaches a triage inbox and can be assigned to a municipal team or an external contractor.
How these numbers are counted
Counts cover reports that are currently live: anything deleted by its author, removed by moderation or erased on request is excluded, not archived into the total.
Reports are grouped by the country recorded when they were filed. Figures refresh hourly and carry no personal data — no names, no accounts, no coordinates.
A country appears here only once it passes a minimum threshold of reports and distinct contributors, so that no page describes the activity of one or two identifiable people.
