Project Clean Water, a county-wide initiative, is launching a new educational campaign to help protect San Diego waters by reducing illegal dumping.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. —
“This campaign is called Dude! Be Cool. Don't Dump,” said Chris Helmer. “We’re talking about the dumping of large bulky items that end up in our streets in our alleyways, construction debris that ends up being dumped in wildlife places.”“When items like this get into our waterways and into our landfills improperly, a lot of these materials can contain hazardous components,” said Brooke Yaptangco Flinn, I Love a Clean San Diego Waste Recovery.
Councilmember Paloma Aguirre from Imperial Beach, one of the hardest hit communities when it rains, spoke at the launch. “For me, it’s one of my highest priorities to have a clean, healthy, and safe environment in imperial beach,” she said. If you have items you’re looking to get rid of but you’re not sure how there’s an easy online database you can search and a hotline you can call here in San Diego for help.
