What does Pima County DEQ do to reduce illegal dumping?
Staff investigate all complaints regarding illegal dumping (wildcat dumping). Staff performs routine surveillance of private and public lands throughout Pima County that are frequent dump sites. Staff will obtain evidence, issue citations to responsible parties, and ensure proper disposal of the solid wastes. Once a month, staff supervises Adult Probation Workers during the cleaning of public land of “wildcat” solid waste. Staff also coordinates neighborhood clean-ups with community leaders and neighborhood groups.
