HOW TO LEGALLY DISPOSE OF WASTE – RESIDENTIAL
The first step to eliminating litter and dumping is to not do it ourselves. Not only will you be helping to eliminate litter and illegal dumping, but you will set an example for others to follow. Never underestimate how much you can influence and change behavior through your good example. Help spread the word and let people know that littering and dumping are not acceptable.
