Solid Waste, Litter & Illegal Dumping
Hold service providers accountable and address recurring dumping/litter problems with data and enforcement.
The Concern
Missed collections, litter, bulky waste, illegal dumping, and service changes are highly visible quality-of-life issues.
What Deltona Can Actually Control
The City controls contracts, service standards, certain fees/assessments, public education, and local enforcement tools.
My Current Commitment
I will evaluate solid-waste service by measurable contract performance, resident complaints, cost, and neighborhood cleanliness.
Proposed Actions
- Track missed-service complaints and contract performance.
- Identify recurring illegal-dumping locations.
- Review bulky-waste and special-collection communication.
- Use enforcement and prevention strategies where evidence shows they work.
Research Still Needed
Current contract, service levels, complaints, fees, illegal-dumping hotspots, enforcement tools, and disposal costs.
