Jeremy Roberson, founder and editor
Jeremy reviews the site's published guide copy, selects or checks cited sources, decides whether corrections are needed, and is accountable for what LitterMeNot presents as its own guidance.
- Policy last reviewed: June 25, 2026.
- Published guidance identifies its author and review date.
- Official rules remain the responsibility of the agency that publishes them.
Named responsibility
Jeremy Roberson is the founder and editor responsible for the site's published guides, source choices, corrections, and final publication decisions.
Primary sources first
Guides prefer official federal, state, county, municipal, transportation, sanitation, park, and waste-management sources when those sources address the topic directly.
Site guidance is not an official rule
LitterMeNot explains practical reporting and cleanup steps, but local agencies control road access, accepted materials, disposal hours, permits, hazards, and enforcement procedures.
Public reports are observations
A map report records what a submitter observed. It does not prove who caused the litter, establish legal responsibility, or replace an emergency or official reporting channel.
Corrections remain open
Readers can report a broken link, changed hour, inaccurate service detail, unclear statement, or missing official source through the correction and contact paths.
Safety overrides cleanup
Guides direct readers away from traffic exposure, private-property entry, suspicious containers, needles, chemicals, active dumping, and other conditions that require trained or official handling.
Review process
The review is designed to keep a public-service guide useful without making LitterMeNot sound like an agency, emergency service, legal authority, or guaranteed cleanup provider.
- Identify whether the statement is general guidance, first-party site data, a user-submitted observation, or an official local requirement.
- Use an official source when a government agency or recognized public program controls the rule, service, location, or safety procedure.
- State limits clearly when rules vary by jurisdiction, material type, road ownership, weather, property access, or local operating hours.
- Review the finished page for unsupported guarantees, accusations, duplicate text, misleading statistics, stale links, and unsafe instructions.
- Update or remove information that can no longer be verified rather than leaving a confident statement without support.
Use of writing and software tools
Software tools may assist with organization, editing, code, formatting, or drafting. They do not replace the human responsibility to review site-specific facts, remove unsupported claims, check cited sources, and make the final publication decision.
Statistics and map information
Counts shown by LitterMeNot describe records currently published by the site. They should not be interpreted as a complete count of litter, dumping, government response, cleanup work, or community activity in any city or region.
Corrections and removals
A correction request should identify the page, the statement or listing at issue, the proposed correction, and a public source when one exists. Material may be corrected, clarified, updated, or removed after review.
