Illegal Dumps

Kentucky has cleaned over 22,000 illegal dump sites since 1993 at a cost exceeding $55 million. The 2002 Kentucky legislature established a statewide, ongoing funding mechanism for the cleanup of illegal open dumps, litter and abandoned landfills.  An environmental remediation fee of $1.75/ton on waste disposed at landfills and an annual road fund allotment of $5 million generate approximately $15 million annually for these cleanup programs.
