The Cost of

Trash. Overflowing trash dumpsters along Wash Road in the Imperial Sand Dunes.  Graphic:  BLM 

Duners, dollars, and the disappearing dumpster.

The collection of trash from the dumpsters is paid for out of money collected through recreation fees.  The 2007/2008 season brought rising fuel costs and dwindling fee revenues.  These two factors combined to price this service out of range.  As a result, beginning

February 1, 2009, trash service will no longer be available.

   When dumpsters are unavailable (or full) as you leave the area, please do the right thing and

pack your trash home.

Trash left on the ground is not only a citable offense,* but a significant eyesore and health/safety issue.

*CA Penal Code 374.4 or 43 CFR 8365.1-1(b) 1-6; punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 12 months.
