The County of Sacramento hauls away hundreds of tons of junk and rubbish from the public right-of-way every year. From construction debris to refrigerators, this trashing blights our neighborhoods, sullies our rivers and streams, drives down property values, and costs County tax and rate payers hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. 

In 2005, the County was awarded a three-year grant from the State to help combat and reduce illegal dumping in the unincorporated region. Due to the success of this joint effort including installation of signs at chronic dumping spots and barriers at frequently abused alleys, development of a reward program and increased outreach, the tonnage of illegally dumped materials picked up by the County has decreased over the years. 

Get involved! With your help, we can continue to reduce blight of illegal dumping in our communities.
