Ohio law bans open dumping of solid waste. ORC 3734.03 prohibits disposing of solid waste by open burning or open dumping. Summit County Public Health investigates dumping, C&D-debris, and scrap-tire complaints in the county.
Open dumping is prohibited statewide under ORC 3734.03: 'No person shall dispose of solid wastes by open burning or open dumping, except as authorized by the director of environmental protection.' Summit County Public Health's solid-waste program investigates illegal open dumping of solid waste, construction-and-demolition debris, and scrap tires. Scrap-tire dumping is specifically illegal, and transporting more than 10 tires requires Ohio EPA registration. Cities and townships add their own littering/dumping ordinances on top of state law. Report dumping to Summit County Public Health or your local jurisdiction.
Open dumping under ORC 3734.03 can bring civil penalties and criminal charges through Ohio EPA/local prosecutors; SCPH investigates and refers enforcement.
