Other Contacts: You may want to invite local media or politicians to your
cleanup. If you feel you do not have enough volunteers, consider displaying a flyer (see Sample Flyer) in your local grocery store or ask the local
radio station to announce it.
If proof of dumping is obtained (such as an address or name from the trash), make sure to
make a note of it on your progress report.
If you witness a person dumping do not confront them. If you can get a general description
of the vehicle, how many people were in it, and/or a license plate number, turn it over to
your local authorities or call the above telephone number for your area.
Federal Land and Cultural Resources: If cultural resources are found during federal land
cleanups, contact your local United States Forest Service office. Cultural resources
include items 50 years or older (e.g., bottles, Indian burial grounds, arrow heads, and so
on).
