Resources

Know what to do with it next.

After the report is sent, this page should make the next step obvious: where to drop it off, what should be recycled separately, and when a cleanup group makes more sense.

Quick guideUse the simplest next step before you start driving around.
Mixed cleanup loadStart with the transfer station.

Bagged litter, mixed debris, or larger loads that do not fit a normal convenience stop.

Common recyclingUse the nearest routine site.

Bottles, cans, cardboard, and ordinary drop-offs that should stay separate from map pins.

Paint or chemicalsCheck guidance before you drive.

Some materials only go to county events or special collection instructions.
