City Crews Staying On Top
of Illegal Dump Sites
During the month of January, City Environmental
Services crews cleaned illegal trash dump sites on
Wilma, Greensboro, Nickey, Brewer, Emily and Thelbert
streets and Roosevelt, Gillis, Pelt and Waddell drives.
Although most sites are "off the beaten path," the City is
committed to cleaning them as quickly as possible.
"As soon as trash is dumped, you want to get it out of
there because it will attract more dumpers," said Jerry
Dietzen, City Environmental Services director.
Citing a study from Keep America Beautiful, Dietzen
said it's a national trend for people to dump litter where
it's already common.
Thanks to diligent staff, the dump sites haven't been that
big of an issue, Dietzen said, but it sometimes takes up to
four trucks to dispose of trash in one location.

Citizens have assisted and are encouraged to help the
cleaning process by calling into the City's Customer
Care Center at 433-1FAY (1329) or logging onto
