Prevent illegal dumping: tips for hiring a junk hauler

If someone you hire hauls away materials and then dumps them illegally, you may be responsible for cleanup and disposal costs. If you suspect someone is improperly disposing of materials, report them to the Kitsap Public Health District.

• Hire a permitted waste hauling business.  These legally-operating haulers are are licensed, insured, bonded, operating legally, and disposing properly.

• Wait to pay until you see a receipt from a legitimate garbage or recycling facility.

• Ridiculously low prices indicate that your waste may be illegally dumped.

• Ask the business you hire where they intend to recycle or dispose of materials.

Vehicle, boat, RV, or trailer abandoned on private property

Contact Kitsap1 to request assistance with junk vehicles on private property.

If the vehicle does not have a title (or has a different Registered Owner), we can provide a Junk Vehicle Affidavit for you to complete. We can also send a notice to the Registered Owner (if one exists). The property resident/owner is responsible for the disposal costs, tank pumping, and towing. We can connect you to these services.

​If you haul waste or debris in an open truck or trailer, you must cover your load every time. Not only is it illegal to drive with an uncovered or unsecured load , it contributes to water pollution and roadside litter.

County garbage and recycling facilities issue at $10 fee for each unsecured load you bring to a facility.
