You can report odors or vapors coming into a residence or business from a nearby dry cleaning business or a smell directly outside a dry cleaning business.

You should provide the exact street address and name of the dry cleaner causing the odors.

To report a smell directly outside a dry cleaning business, you must provide your contact information so the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) can contact you, if necessary. DEP cannot action the Service Request without it.
