The
Marion County Commission is partnered with the WV Dept.
of Environmental Protection, the WV Dept. of Corrections,
the Marion County Solid Waste Authority, and the WV
Division of Natural Resources to locate and cleanup
illegal dump sites, and to prosecute violators of
littering and dumping laws.
Dumping of
commercial items (wound cable, roofing shingles,
high pressure hose, and other materials common to
contractors or business companies) can face fines
up to $10,000.
Brush, cut
trees, block, railroad ties, and other items
thought to be ok for the environment is illegal
dumping. Some regular trash collection services
will pick up items that will fit into the back of
the truck.
Littering and
dumping are a threat to the environment and to
members of the community. Safety hazards exist to
dirt bikers, hikers, 4-wheelers, and children.
The health hazards are commonly known. Mosquitoes
breed in anything that holds water, not just
tires. The rodent population is higher in areas
of illegal dumping.
