Litterbug Hotline . . . Excerpted from Arizona Republic

Jul 20, 2003

Every year 65,000 bags worth of trash are removed from Phoenix area freeways alone. Officials from the Arizona Department of Transportation and the non-profit group Arizona Clean and Beautiful have announced a new Litter Hotline. Anyone who witnesses someone tossing trash from a vehicle can call in to the automated hotline with the license plate number, color, make and location of the violation. In the Phoenix area, the number is 602-712-4683. Outside the metro Phoenix area, call 1-877-354-8837.

Arizona currently spends about $2 million a year to clean up trash along the highway.

Once a call to the hotline is processed, Arizona Clean and Beautiful will attempt to prevent repeat occurrences by sending the vehicle owner a friendly letter reminding them that there are fines of up to $500 for littering. They?’ll also tuck a litterbag in with the letter. . . ☻
