Roadside Litter Removal

What This Service Involves

Our crews collect litter, illegally dumped debris, and blown material from shoulders, ditches, and vegetated margins along municipal routes, bagging and hauling it for proper disposal. Persistent Northwest rain mats litter into the vegetation and washes it toward catch basins, so regular removal directly reduces stormwater pollutant loading. Work is performed under traffic control with high-visibility crews, and unusual or hazardous items are documented and handled per protocol. We track collected volume and route coverage for your NPDES and community-standards reporting.
