Solid Waste Disposal
Litter and other solid waste picked up from roadside parks,
litter barrels and highway rights of way should be disposed of in
sanitary land fills or other disposal facilities which are operated
in compliance with State Department of Health regulations.
Should disposal of household or other refuse (solid waste)
become a serious problem at any location along the right of way
the following options are available which may assist in alleviating this
condition.
- If the identity of the offender can be determined through addresses on envelopes, etc. write a letter pointing out the litter barrel is to be used by highway travelers.
- Bring the matter to the attention of the appropriate county official (county attorney, county health officer or commissioners).
- Request assistance from the Maintenance Division.
Good judgment should be used when handling these matters to
prevent adverse publicity or criticism of the department.
