Dumping trash, debris, or waste on public or private land is illegal in Larimer County. State law (C.R.S. 18-4-511) makes littering a class 2 petty offense, and the county Department of Health & Environment investigates illegal dump sites.
Colorado's littering statute, C.R.S. 18-4-511, prohibits depositing, throwing, or leaving litter, defined as all rubbish, waste, refuse, garbage, trash, and debris, on any public or private property or in any waters. Larimer County treats illegal dumping of solid waste as a hazard to groundwater, surface water, and land, and the Department of Health & Environment investigates sites and enforces under the state Solid Waste Act, which authorizes the Board of County Commissioners to seek District Court action to force cleanup. Report dumps to the Health Department at (970) 498-6775.
Littering under C.R.S. 18-4-511 is a class 2 petty offense with a mandatory fine of $20 to $500 on a first conviction, rising for repeat offenses; courts may order litter cleanup.
