FacebookSolid Waste
Solid waste nuisance conditions may result in the spread of disease and can endanger the safety, health, comfort and well-being of the public. The Health Department assists with enforcement of the County Nuisance Ordinance in unincorporated areas. Investigations are handled on a complaint basis only. Complaints must be made in writing on forms provided by the Health Department. All complaints are confidential.
Nuisance complaints for properties located within a municipality fall under the jurisdiction of the municipal government in which it resides in. Please refer these complaints to the appropriate city hall.
Recycling
