Speaker Abstract
The pandemic and the homeless crises have created challenges for local jurisdictions to keep our public spaces free of illegally dumped materials and litter. Traditional illegal dumping programs are effective in collecting concentrated dumps of bulky items, but struggle to address defused litter and spaces occupied by the unhoused. This presentation will describe Sacramento County efforts to address illegal dumping and litter issues in the unincorporated County, highlighting our approach to education, enforcement, and material collection.
