All citizens of Clark County should know that littering is a crime. This 24-hour hotline has been established to focus attention on littering and dumping by asking people to report any suspected activity so that it can be investigated and/or cleaned up. When calling the hotline, please provide as much information as possible concerning the location, the type of materials dumped, and any description of the offender—it helps to have a license plate number and description of a vehicle. The caller’s name & phone number are useful as well, but you can remain anonymous.
Clark County is confronting littering and dumping in various ways. One primary tactic is a full-time dedicated Environmental Enforcement Officer. Deputy David Burch, who serves all jurisdictions within the county, is aggressively confronting environmental crime. This deputy makes dozens of results each year as a result of investigations into illegal dumping and littering complaints.
The program allows select inmates from the Clark County Jail to help cleanup dump sites and litter and help care for public areas. The PRIDE workers save thousands of dollars in cleanup costs every year, and have removed more than 100 tons of illegally dumped debris from public areas in Clark County every year since 1991! PRIDE also supports recycling programs and community cleanups.
