Illegally dumped waste remains a persistent issue in many communities, including Oakwood. This practice has negative consequences for environmental health, the overall quality of life, and our sustainability efforts.
It is important to recognize that unauthorized waste disposal on both municipal and private property is illegal and harmful to our community. Such actions not only threaten the natural environment but also incur removal costs, jeopardize public safety, and create risks for both wildlife and human health.
