DATE:
Illegal Dumping of Refuse in Contra Costa County
SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
. That the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors take action to curb
illegal dumping of trash throughout the county. This action should
include the following:
1) Encourage the enforcement of County Ordinance 418-2.008 (b)
regarding uncovered . loads by increasing the penalty to $250 �to be used
for funding an enforcement program.
2). Develop a system to offer a reward for information ':leading to
the offenders of County Ordinance 416-14.006 (illegal dumping of
refuse) .
3) Analyze the costs incurred in cleaning up illegal dump sites
both on private and county property.
• i
4) Investigate the possibility of providing more frequent
collections of large trash items and/or establish a county hot-line to
tell people how to get rid of trash.
5) Request the Sanitation Districts to design and evaluate a
county-wide recycling program.
BACKGROUND:
The proliferation of illegal dumping in West and East County
necessitates that stiffer penalties be imposed and that the 'l'money
collected be used to establish an enforcement program.
An analysis of the cost of cleaning up illegal dumping might show that
use of funds for surveillance of illegal dump sites is less costly than
the cost of clean-up.
