Illegal dumping and littering are kind of different in my eyes. Illegal dumping is when a contractor dumps construction debris. Littering is when Joe Shmo throws a bag of chips on the ground. In my experience with illegal dumping, the cops did nothing. My neighbor and I had to take care of it ourselves .

Hmm I never knew the difference. So you’re saying they won’t do anything for either illegal dumping or littering?

Highly likely they won’t help you.

Your best bet is to just pick up the trash after they litter. Unless you want to confront them but in my experience that also can either go well or very poorly.

Just to piggyback on this, getting shot over littering will not cause the police to come any faster.

Yeah don’t confront a random stranger over littering.

You’re probably right. I was hoping someone would have good news for me but oh well. And yeah I most certainly would never confront someone littering. Sounds like a recipe for getting shot
