Minimum involvement is granting permission. If the owner is capable of doing more, they should be asked to do so, but keep in mind the property owner is a victim of uncaring peoples' behavior. Government, particularly local government, can assist in trash cleanups. They may provide hauling, labor, heavy equipment, and physical deterrents such as guiderails or fill to prevent access to a cleaned dump site. Enforcement agencies are essential players and are encouraged to meet with the volunteers and discuss ways they can work together to increase successful prosecutions.
State police talk to organizers.
The media increases public awareness and sends the message that future dumping will not be tolerated. To maximize their educational role, the media should be involved before, during, and after the cleanup. Funding sources, such as foundations, corporations, and government agencies may provide funds to acquire essential resources not obtainable from your community. Together We Can Make A Difference.
