Illegal Dumping

The Illegal Dumping Problem and Why You Should Care

Did you know that every year Public Works devotes 200 hours a week finding and removing over 380 illegal dump sites around the county?

These dumps are not only unsightly, but also pose serious public health and environmental safety hazards to all of us. They contain everything from common household and yard trash to appliances, furniture and other large items, to hazardous chemical and biological waste, where they can leach into the soil and water table.

Oh, and by the way... and it's against the law.
