Removal, Disposal, and Restoration

illegal dumpsite cleanup services

Illegal dumping is the disposal of trash generated from one place that is then disposed of at another location (not designated for waste removal) without legal permission. Example items include yard waste, appliances, tires, household garbage, and much more. These items will typically be dumped in alleys, wooded areas, ditches, vacant lots, and other abandoned or secluded areas.

​

It is estimated in the US over 1.5 million tons of garbage is illegally dumped every year. Not only is it wrong, but it also poses significant environmental risks, including soil and water contamination, harm to wildlife, and more.

Why Do People Illegally Dump?

Not everyone behaves in an upstanding way. Illegal dumping is becoming more pervasive through the country. There are many reasons one might illegally dump items. Here are some more common reasons.

  • Fee Avoidance: For businesses and non-county residents disposing of waste legally often involves landill fees. Depending on where you live they can be very expensive. Many people choose illegal dumping to avoid these costs.

  • Convenience: Finding a proper disposal site can be inconvenient or time-consuming, leading some to dump at the closest remote location they can find.

  • Lack of Awareness: Some individuals consider illegal dumping a victimless crime. Many people do not understand or care about the environmental impact or legal implications of illegal dumping.

  • Limited Access: In rural areas, access to legal waste disposal facilities can be very limited. Instead of driving to better-resourced towns many resort to illegal dumping.

  • Absence of Enforcement: In regions where regulations are poorly enforced, there is no fear of fines or repercussions.

Why Should I Utilize Illegal Dump Site Cleanup Services?

Cleanup of illegal dumpsites often involves dangerous materials. As professionals, we come equipped with protective gear and equipment to mitigate risk and danger. We also properly dispose of items. Not everything can be put in a dumpster, trash can, or taken to your country landfill. For particular items, special licenses, and commercial resources are necessary.

​

How Much Does Cleanup Cost?

Cleanup starts at our minimum job price. However, pricing is ultimately determined by factors such as item quantity, type, size, weight, and the overall complexity of the job. Whatever your needs, we aim to deliver efficient service that meets your needs while respecting your budget.​

In an emergency situation, we can even come after hours as long as the trash is easily accessible.

​

What Should I Do If I See Someone Illegally Dumping?

If you see someone illegally dumping items, it should be reported to the authorities (use non-emergency hotlines). Do not approach the person but try to take pictures of them or their vehicle in order to provide them to law enforcement. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources also has an app where these instances can be reported.​​​​​​​​​
