Illegal disposal of household garbage, bags of yard waste, discarded appliances, old barrels, used tires and demolition debris not only create a public nuisance, divert land from more productive uses and depress the value of surrounding land, but can threaten the health of humans, wildlife and the environment. If left unreported and allowed to remain, will often grow larger and attract more dumping by others.
