WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE!
We have noticed an increase in illegal dumping in dumpsters at the Municipal Building, along roadways as well as at local Hampton businesses.
Only the cardboard dumpsters, now located behind the salt storage building (where the glass recycling bin used to be located) are for residents to recycle cardboard. During the summer months, single-stream (approved recyclables including plastics, paper, glass, etc.) recycling dumpsters are located in the swimming pool parking lot for residential use. The two trash dumpsters located in front of the salt storage building are specifically for garbage from the municipal complex facilities and is NOT for public use. This area is under video surveillance. If you have excess garbage that does not fit in your new trash cart, please call Waste Management at 1-800-451-3060 to purchase an additional cart.
We have also received complaints from Hampton residents that illegal dumping is occurring along certain roadways. Last, people are dumping their garbage in dumpsters utilized and paid for by local businesses. These companies, including small businesses owned by Hampton residents, pay to empty those dumpsters that are filled from illegal dumping. Any violators who illegally dump garbage and who are caught could face possible fines.
We are aware that recyclables are flying out of the Waste Management trucks when they lift the box in front of the truck, and we are working with them as well to correct this problem.
Please help us keep Hampton the beautiful community that you, your family and neighbors are proud to call home. Thank you!
