This site makes a big contribution to communicating and sharing information about the dumping problem but the city needs to do more than just clean up after these criminals. Again, "Build it, and they will come" -- the more efficiently you clean up the dumped trash, the more they will bring -- and it is obvious that these dumps of building trash are being brought to downtown from elsewhere!

How much does this clean-up cost the taxpayers? What penalties exist? How much would it cost to catch and prosecute the dumpers? Alternatively, would it work out cheaper to forget punishment, and place dumpsters at locations around town and allow free dumping?

Thank you for reporting! Public Works has an illegal dumping team whose sole job is to respond to illegal dumping reports throughout the City. On average this team removes 1,200 pounds of trash from public property every day. We strive to respond to all reports in a timely fashion. If you see someone dumping illegally please report the incident to the Vallejo Police Department.

Thanks for reporting! Our staff responsible for removing, sorting, and dumping all illegal dumping in Vallejo has picked up the illegal dumping reported at this location. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue, please call the Grounds Supervisor at 707-648-4581. Thanks again for using SeeClickFix!
