The See Dumping? Say Something! Campaign started with a poster design. Staff attended multiple events and spoke to the public about illegal dumping, its ramifications, and SNHD’s solid waste case process.

The Don’t Trash Recycling poster was created after the success of the See Dumping? Say Something! campaign. This endeavor was aimed at cleaning up recycling commodities to increase overall recycling and decrease recyclables going into the landfill.

And lastly, a stormwater management training was held for permitted disposal facilities.
