Illegal Dumping and Sign Posting
What to do about illegal dumping: Note as much information as you can safely obtain, such as car color, make, model, license number, a description of the person(s) dumping, and include photos. Provide the information to Wilson County Attorney, Tom Caldwell at 830-393-7305.
What to do about illegal sign posting: If you catch someone in the act of posting a sign illegally, note as much information as you can safely obtain, such as car color, make, model, license number and a description of the person(s) posting. A photo of the sign or at least details of what is advertised would be helpful but not required. (Note: It is perfectly legal for citizens to remove illegally posted signs, provided you do not trespass on private property.)
