Illegal Dumps

An Illegal Dump is a concentrated pile of debris that is purposefully dumped. Illegal dumps are often located on wooded hillsides, in alleys, and on vacant lots. Commonly dumped items include: appliances, construction debris, mattresses, car parts, and tires.

Most of the time there are items found that are in perfect working order. I do not understand why someone would just throw it out... at least give it to someone who needs it.



Illegal dump clean-ups can be very dangerous and sometimes require a lot of planning. In some cases, the clean-up may be too risky for volunteers and will sometimes require a City crew to do the job with heavy equipment.

Solution #1 Give your unwanted and broken stuff away. CraigsList has a "Free Stuff" section that I use from time to time and every time I have used it, my unwanted stuff had a new home within a few hours.
