Participate Now in Illegal Dumping Survey

From the League of Cities' website:

City managers, in conjunction with other city departments that oversee solid waste issues, are encouraged to participate in an important statewide survey on illegal dumping and litter abatement. Developed by the League of California Cities, the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB), the survey is a shortened version of a similar survey conducted two years ago.

The 2008 survey is critical to local governments. The previous survey produced a significant database on the costs of illegal dumping to local governments as well as the demographics of illegal dumping. Thirty-seven cities and 35 counties participated in the 2006 survey which found that local governments spent $44 million annually on abatement and enforcement.

The 2008 survey must be completed by April 25. The League encourages all jurisdictions to take part in the five minute survey.
