Content brought to you by: Your Partner in Progress County reminds residents that trash dumping is illegal In recent months, illegal dumping has increased in Doña Ana County. The Doña Ana County Codes officers have picked up mattresses, appliances, TVs, computers, construction materials, discarded toilets and other household items. We have gone to great lengths to identi- fy illegal dumpers, including searching through bags of gar- bage which puts our officers at great risk as they frequently encounter exposure to bacteria and other pathogens. We began using hidden cameras strategically located in high dump areas, primarily geodistrict 2, comprised of Radi- um Springs, Fairacres and Doña Ana; ge- odistrict 3 comprised of Organ, WSMR, East Mesa and But- Illegal trash dumping in Doña Ana County mars the natu- terfield; and geodistrict 4 comprised of Mesilla, Mesilla Park, ral beauty of our region and hurts animals and vegeta- South Valley, Vado, San Miguel, La Mesa, Mesquite and Las tion. PHOTOS: Doña Ana County. Alturas in an effort to pick up a license plate number or other identifying information. We developed an app called “No Throw” that enables the user to report illegal dumping. It is free and available for iOS and Android devices . Alternatively, residents can always call Mesilla Valley Regional Dispatch Authority, MVRDA at (575) 526-0795 and make an anonymous report. Every day, Doña Ana County Codes Officers patrol all around the county with a concentration on the high-dump areas, along the river levees and far into the desert. Codes Officers also clean graffiti on buildings, bridges and other structures. Though Codes Officers have no law enforcement capabilities, they do enforce the County ordinances that have been passed against illegal dumping. The fine for illegal dumping is up to $300 and/ or 90 days in jail. Doña Ana County Codes Division works hard to address illegal dumping and other illegal activities that ruin the natural beauty of our county and we need the public’s help to stop this illegal activity. If you see illegal dumping ac- tivities or a dumping area, please report it with the No Throw app or call MVRDA at (575) 526-0795.
