Nail-A-Dumper

You can fight back when you see someone
litter along Central Ohio highways!
When you see someone litter, call 614-871-5322. Operators at the 24-hour-a-day service will take the information (time of day, make of vehicles, what was littered etc) and turn it over to The Franklin County Environmental Crimes Unit which is funded by SWACO. Those who litter will receive a letter reminding them of the penalties for littering if an officer had seen the incident.
 
The Nail-A-Dumper hotline and website (www.nailadumper.com) also provides an opportunity for residents and businesses to report illegal dumping. Deputies from the Environmental Crimes Unit will follow up and make every effort to prosecute the culprits.   
 
The Environmental Crimes Unit is made up of representatives from The Franklin County Board of Health, The Franklin County Prosecutor’s office, The Franklin County Sheriff’s office and the Columbus Division of Refuse.
