Illegal Dumping Causes Issues for City Program



Constant violations could put the future of Dover's free compost dumping program in jeopardy.
 
Service Director Dave Douglas says the city has offered the program for over five years.
 

 
To keep an eye on the situation, Douglas says officials have relied on residents.
 

 
Douglas says the site is free, open to all residents, and is used frequently. He notes, however, that the illegal dumping causes concern for the future of the program.
 

 
Douglas says the idea of relocating the site has been discussed. He notes that the move could cause more illegal dumping due to a lack of monitoring of the new location.
 
Douglas adds that the site has seen issues since the program began, but that officials have noticed problems escalating over the years.
