MONTICELLO, Ill. (WCIA) — After items such as fences and nails have been dumped into the Monticello Lanscape Waste Facility, the police department is reminding residents of what can and cannot be discarded there.

On Friday, the Monticello Police Department said people should only be taking brush, leaves, limbs and grass clippings to the facility. Recently, fence panels, nails and other trash have been found dumped there. The department urges that these items could cause injuries to others and damage vehicles.

The facility has a large sign next to the driveway showing what is and isn’t allowed to be dumped. Additionally, this facility is to be used by Monticello residents only.

The city has a number of cameras posted nearby, but a driver still recently dumped a pile of wooden fences with nails in it. The police department warns that anyone dumping non-approved items will be cited and issued a fine of up to $750.

Monticello Police is also asking anyone that sees people illegally dumping items to report them to dispatch at 217-762-5761. They are urging people to only dump off approved items so that the facility can remain open.
