Creating public awareness would be a great way to start the prevention of illegal dumping. Even though people should already have the knowledge of the consequences and hazards of dumping, reintroducing the knowledge might be a good start.

Officials should research the cause of people illegally dumping. Why do they do it? If the answers are relatively the same, perhaps officials should consider attacking the problem by their motives for doing it. Do these states have free dumpsites for the public that is included in the taxes for those areas? Do they have amnesty days for bringing trash to a location? Or do you have to pay to pick up trash? In Sarasota, I would believe that we have less of a problem now that there is free trash pick up.
