Illegal-Dumping Hot Line Created

In an attempt to pursue cases of illegal dumping into storm drains, street gutters and waterways, Los Angeles County officials have established a toll-free phone number to report possible violations.

The number is (800) 303-0003.

The county’s public works director, Thomas A. Tidemanson, said the special phone line will allow “local law enforcement agencies to act quickly and effectively to protect the quality of our waters entering storm drains, local streams and ultimately the oceans.”
