Did you know?
- Indiscriminate dumping is an ongoing problem in our community
- The cost to clean up the indiscriminate is borne by the town – your tax dollars are going towards cleaning up somebody else’s mess
- That if the person doing the indiscriminate dumping can be determined, he/she can be forced to clean up the mess and can also be fined
Following are pictures taken around our community of indiscriminate dumping. In some areas, it is very difficult, maybe impossible to clean up the debris due to the location.
      
If you know who is responsible please do the right thing and report them. Let’s take pride in our community and work together to make it a better, cleaner place to live.
