Illegal Dumping
Let’s talk about illegal dumping. Illegal dumping occurs when someone dumps unrecyclable items in or outside of the WWRA’s recycling bins. Common items include furniture, construction waste, tanglers, and foam. This can be done by someone who hopes other bin users will take home the items or by someone who does not want to dispose of waste correctly. Leaving these items and any trash in or by bins is illegal and may be subject to a $1,000 fine. Instead, dispose or reuse items in a respectful manner. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Donate: Furniture, equipment, kitchen tools, containers, and clothes
Dispose of: construction waste, foam, trash, and other contaminates. Visit here for a full list of resources.
