Our PPW Maintenance and Operations Division responds to address litter on county roads.
Litter in the road
This is our highest priority, and we will respond right away.
Roadside locations with a high volume of litter
This is our second highest priority. We will respond as resources allow.
Scattered litter along the roadside
This is considered a low priority. We respond as resources allow. Roads with scattered litter are good candidates for our Adopt a Road Program.
Equipment:
Small amounts of litter are picked up using one of our pickup trucks. For illegal dumping or locations with high volumes of litter, we typically send a backhoe and a dump truck.
Crew Response:
Each of our four maintenance areas has a response truck scheduled each weekday. The one- or two-person team responds to reports of roadside litter, along with other issues such as potholes, sight distance concerns (such as overgrown vegetation), and dead animals.
