Wayne County Tackles Illegal Dumping | Charleston News

Wayne County’s battle against illegal dumping is heating up—rural areas are being choked by trash, pests, and stench, forcing neighbors like Millie Cox to live with the mess. Since January, a new litter control officer has uncovered 300 dump sites, cleaned 250 acres, and hauled away 36 tons of garbage—including tires and animal carcasses. Backed by a state grant and community service crews, officials now use online reports to track dumps and issue tickets. Officer Larry Large is stepping up with game cameras to catch offenders—and soon, countywide cleanup days will roll out free dumpsters to make proper disposal easy for everyone.
