The Department offers trash bags, gloves, and the use of safety vests for organized community clean-ups. It will also arrange for a county truck to remove the filled bags of trash. At least a two week’s notice is required to provide these supplies and services, and clean-ups are scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis.
A problem was reported but was not fixed. Why?
The majority of the rejected problem requests relate to areas that are not county property or beyond the county right-of-way. Please click here for right-of-way information (there should be a link here to go to the section under Roads and Bridges relating to Right-of-Way questions).

The department will clear dead animals from the road only if they are deemed a traffic hazard.
