Illegal dumping of trash, furniture, mattresses, appliances, or yard debris on public streets, alleys, vacant lots, washes, or rights-of-way is prohibited in Jurupa Valley under JVMC Chapter 6.75 (Solid Waste Code) §6.75.030 (Prohibitions) and §6.75.040 (Violations and Penalties), plus state law (California Penal Code §374.3, which carries fines of up to $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second, and $10,000 for a third within 12 months, with potential community service). Reports can be made through the My Jurupa Valley mobile app, the City's online Service Request portal, or by phone to Code Enforcement at 951-332-6464.
Public Works coordinates removal of dumped couches, mattresses, and large items from City-owned alleys and rights-of-way after a report is filed. Penal Code §374.3 applies statewide — first offense $250–$1,000, second offense $500–$5,000 (with mandatory minimum), third offense $750–$10,000. Dumping more than 100 pounds or in commercial quantities under §374.3(h) is a wobbler that can be charged as a misdemeanor with up to 6 months jail. The City may also seek abatement costs and lien the responsible property under JVMC nuisance provisions. Jurupa Valley's freight-corridor location (I-15, SR-60, Pyrite Channel, Santa Ana River bottoms) has made illegal dumping a longstanding enforcement priority and the City participates in Riverside County's Anti-Litter Task Force.
Civil/administrative citations under JVMC §6.75.040; criminal prosecution under California Penal Code §374.3 (infraction or misdemeanor depending on quantity). Property owners can be billed for abatement costs.
