“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
There’s too much garbage and it must be a health hazard for people who have to clean it up. RAVE To the people holding the “Abolish Nuclear Weapons” banner and waving on the I-5 overpass Monday morning. They made my day, and I’m with them 100%! ... (nt & Rave: Too much trash)
After pickup, some streets had cans in neat rows while others were a bit more haphazard, but nothing egregious. Back on Burgener, I saw a greenery trash truck with a worker dumping cans by hand. After having three city trash cans broken in seven years, Thomas Freese of Bay Park picked up a Toter-brand can at a local home improvement store. "I haven't had this one long yet [a few months] but it appears to be better quality." Freese made his choice after noticing neighbors with Toter cans didn't have the same issues as those with city-issued cans. "Many have been taped, bolted with metal and screws, riveted, glued; you name it, I've seen it." A couple Bay Park residents complained that after purchasing a Home Depot trash can, trash collectors refused to pick up their trash. A local Home Depot clerk told me the city-approved can is a Toter 48-gallon for $159.07. Per the city, approved cans are made by Rehrig Pacific or Toter, 64/65 or 96-gallon, and look like the standard black wheeled trash carts used by the city for automated trash collection. Home Depot had the Toter 64- and 96-gallon cans online ($84 — $194)... (ould San Diego's trash collecting stay free?)

Environmental Crimes Unit has 10 employees that respond to public reports and monitor surveillance footage, but they also take care of hazardous waste and chemicals, work with police on meth labs, and enforce solid waste, wastewater and wetland code violations, among other jobs. "Lots of times, it’s extremely difficult to catch people in the act of dumping," Emory said. Illegal dumping often occurs on hard-to-access back roads or is cloaked by darkness. Without video evidence, it's especially difficult to prove. In 2017, DNREC had 27 people arrested for illegal dumping, with fines totaling $13,500. Both were five-year highs. State police made 71 arrests for littering and illegal dumping in 2017 (25 in New Castle County, 14 in Kent County and 32 in Sussex County). Wilmington issued 1,795 such citations for the 12-month period of January 2017 through June 2018, according to Licenses and Inspections Commissioner Jeff Starkey. Fines totaled $89,750. Over the past year to date, Newark issued 14 littering citations. A person found guilty of littering or illegal dumping can be fined no less than $50 and given up to eight hours of community service for a first offense. A second offense within two years draws a $75 fine and up to 25 hours of community service. If the offense occurred on or along a road adjacent to an area of scenic, historical or cultural interest, an additional penalty of $500 must be imposed for every first, second and subsequent offense, in addition to the fine. In many cases, offenders are also made to pick up litter from the area they polluted. Given the challenges associated with catching violators, officials have shifted their focus to cleanup and reducing future litter. Roadside trash is collected by DelDOT with three groups: DelDOT maintenance employees, inmates and volunteers through the adopt-a-highway program. But the system is failing along Episcopo's commute. "I have seen local residents out there," Episcopo said. "The only cleanup I’ve ever seen." According to the latest National Visible Litter Survey and Litter Cost Study, conducted in 2009, litter cleanup costs $11.5 billion nationwide each year. States, cities and counties together spend $1.3 billion. (spite fines for littering, illegal dumping, trash piles up in some parts of Delaware)
