CHARLOTTE — Charlotte waste officials need help dealing with a problem that is stretching garbage crews thin, our partners at The Charlotte Observer reported.
Trash from those sites accounts for a small fraction of the more than 1,000 tons of trash that crews collect every day.
Illegally dumping can lead to hundreds of dollars in fines, and in some cases, a felony charge.
You can report illegally dumped trash by calling 311. That number can also be used to schedule free trash pick-up.
