<p>Dumping is driven by the lack of disposal options and &#8220;bagging&#8221; of all household waste.</p><p>The opinion piece and recent article on dumping that was published in your paper hit on possible solutions to curb illegal dumping.</p><p>I proposed a full-county sponsored recycling center back in 2004, but only got the county commissioners to agree to a once-a-year tire recycling and electronics pick-up. Since then, dumping has declined significantly.</p><p>But, when municipalities require all household waste to be put in paid for bags, people cannot get rid of junk for free. There are some places that recycle electronics year round for a fee, but that fee is expensive to some, and the county electronics program has been transformed into a partnership with municipalities, which only a few have participated in to date.</p><p>So, if a paid for by ticket spring cleaning for junk or full &#8216;junk&#8217; pick up was available to the public, less furniture, discarded building materials, tires and TVs would end up in our woods or dumped on the side of the road.</p><p><strong>Mario Fiorucci</strong></p><p>Sugar Notch</p><style>
