Illegal dumping leads to several serious problems for the community and wider environment. Not only does illegal dumping lead to land, water, soil and air pollution, but the toxicity of chemicals and non-biodegradable materials can leach into waterways and contaminate groundwater and soil. Furthermore, illegal dumps have been shown to reduce property value, and cause negative effects to tourism businesses, and the economy in general.
Of course, illegally dumped materials can also pose serious health risks for those who live nearby. Illegal dumps may contain toxic substances, sharp objects, human waste, contaminated medical waste, asbestos and tires, just to mention a few of the potential dangers. Lastly, illegal dumps cost high amounts of taxpayer money as local and state governments have to spend public funds to clean up the mess brought about by illegally dumped waste.
One of the biggest problems affecting Albuquerque and the state of New Mexico in general is illegal dumping. In this short article, we briefly outline the problem of illegal dumping in Albuquerque and explain how Junk King Albuquerque can help individuals, homeowners, businesses, and the city in general help clean up this problem and help our customers quickly and efficiently clear out clutter and junk from their home.
The Problem of Illegal Dumping in Albuquerque
Despite an enormous effort to try and curb the issue of illegal dumping, the City of Albuquerque continues to suffer from this issue. Across the state of New Mexico, the litter problem has become chronic, according to one local expert. Many city´s spend an enormous amount of time, money, and human resources picking up litter, just to have it be trashed again by the next day.
In Albuquerque, a group of partners who formed the Illegal Dumping Partnership clean up more than 1,250 tons of junk and trash annually from public spaces. Despite these efforts, the amount of trash showing up in abandoned lots, city parks, natural areas, and parking lots continues to rise. Some of the most common junk items that are illegally dumped around the city include construction and demolition waste, abandoned automobiles, auto parts and scrap tires, appliances, furniture, yard waste, household trash, and more.
According to one recent news report, “Trash is piling up along interstates around Albuquerque, and the state and the New Mexico Department of Transportation say its crews can’t keep up with it. Along the interstates and below overpasses, there’s more and more litter lining the roads. Now, local officials are launching campaigns to help clean up the trash along areas like I-25, I-40, and Paseo del Norte.”
Though there are many reasons for illegal dumping, one reason that may be driving residents of Albuquerque to dump their trash illegally is the extra costs associated with this type of trash pickup. The City of Albuquerque states that “commercial customers must pay $59.31 (for bulky item pickup)…Additional charges will apply if service requires additional staff time and equipment…There is an $8.87 fee to collect extra residential trash and a $9.04 fee to collect extra recycling.”
