If you'd like to help stamp out illegal dumping in our area, consider donating to these folks. They've been responsible for catching 60 illegal dumpers through the use of field cameras between July of last year and now. Here's the link to their site with a link to donations (we have no connection to them): okanaganforesttaskforce.com/?fbclid=IwAR2NkjxwLlsmFMG2_8UKygiK5f7YvLNpf3dXGSvtBNwVqZT_3vFm2kxGR70

"Cameras typically get checked once a week, and that’s when investigations are triggered," said Kane Blake, founder of the Okanagan Forest Task Force.Illegal dumping is becoming a real problem in our beautiful region. Next time you hire someone to take away your junk, make sure it's a legitimate logoed company that would never risk its reputation with this kind of nonsense. If random guy-with-a-pickup-truck advertises prices that are too good to be true, beware. We've seen advertisements for dump runs for as low as $30 per load, and that's barely enough to cover the landfill tipping fees on an average load.
With Dump Runz you can be sure that we'll recycle everything possible, and what's left will go straight to the landfill.

We show up on time, do what we're supposed to efficiently and with a smile (except in July on really really hot days and then we might frown once, but not at you), and then take it to multiple donation locations, throwing away ONLY unrecyclable trash at the dump.
