Illegal Desert Dumping

Drive around Pinal County and you have likely come across tires, mattresses or other bulky items dumped in the desert.

Illegal dumping is not only an eye sore in our beautiful county, but it often occurs close to residential homes or properties.

County Attorney Kent Volkmer is working to address this issue. Going forward, there will be a focus on community cleanups, finding additional alternative options for residents who need to dispose of old and bulky items, as well as targeting offenders.

You can also find information on illegal dumping on the Pinal County website.

See below a message from County Attorney Kent Volkmer, as well as pictures of illegally dumped items.

Let's keep Pinal County a pristine place to live and play.
