No community in North Texas is immune from the problem of illegal dumping. It seems that in some neighborhoods, the problem has gotten worse instead of better. Illegal Dumping is trash disposed of in unauthorized locations.
Illegal dumping can cause public health and safety concerns. Children playing around dangerous metals, broken glass or used tires can hurt themselves and unwanted pests such as rodents and insects can inhabit dump sites.
Working Together
By working together, communities and law enforcement can win the war on Illegal Dumping. There are strict laws on the books with heavy penalties for those who violate sections 364 and 365 of the Texas Health and Safety Code.
