Weld County's littering ordinance makes it unlawful to deposit, throw or leave any litter on public or private property in the unincorporated county, on roadsides, waters, or farm and ranch land. A first offense carries a mandatory fine of $50-$100.
Illegal dumping in unincorporated Weld County is handled through the county's littering ordinance (Chapter 14, Article I) and Colorado's littering statute. Section 14-1-20 makes it unlawful for any person to deposit, throw or leave litter on any public or private property or waters within the county, outside incorporated towns. 'Litter' covers rubbish, waste, refuse, garbage, trash and debris, and applies to road rights-of-way, waterways, and residential, farm or ranch land. Greeley separately bans depositing refuse so as to become a nuisance and prohibits throwing or sweeping refuse into any street, alley or vacant lot. Both mirror the state statute CRS 18-4-511.
Weld County littering is a Class 2 petty offense with a mandatory fine of $50-$100 (first), $100-$200 (second) and $175-$300 (third), plus possible court-ordered litter cleanup (§ 14-1-40).
