Through grant funds the ORSWMD is revitalizing the Illegal Dumpsite Project from 2004. Dumpsites cleaned up during the last project will be resurveyed and new dumpsites will be identified. With help from partner organizations dumpsites will be cleaned up and signs placed.

- 4 clean up events
- 78 volunteers
- 231 tires collected
- 300 pounds of metal recycled
