Scan Before You Dump™ Program Guide

Why this resource matters

Unauthorized dumping is difficult to solve with another warning sign alone. Scan Before You Dump™ adds a helpful next step. A person can scan the property-specific QR code, choose the item they are trying to dispose of, and see local options without installing an app or creating an account.

Key points

• A property can participate without first purchasing a roof retrofit.
• The QR destination can be updated while the physical sign remains in place.
• Common item categories can include furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, paint, tires, construction debris, yard waste and donation or reuse.
• The program helps deter unauthorized dumping but does not guarantee that dumping stops.
• Sponsors can help fund sign placement at participating properties.
