County Clean-Up Program
The target cleanup sites are those whose landowners, through an application process, voluntarily agree to allow county employees and inmate workers to enter onto their private property for the purpose of the removal of refuse. County employees and detention center inmate workers, upon approved application and notification of a signed waiver by the landowner, shall schedule a day to remove refuse which will be hauled off to the dump for disposal.

The San Juan County clean-up program. Once it has been determined what extent of assistance is to be provided, a time and day will be scheduled for cleanup, and the landowner will be contacted with the details. The landowner will be required to be present during the cleanup process.

Citizens who are interested in applying for property cleanup and wish for the refuse to be removed may contact the San Juan County Public Works office (505-334-4520) to submit an application for assistance.

Junk Vehicles
In the event the landowner wishes a junk vehicle to be removed, a clear title must be provided where applicable. The County will also consider old vehicles with no title. The cleanup team will then remove the vehicle or make arrangements with a local junk dealer to remove it.
San Juan County has incorporated this plan to provide landowners a voluntary means for cleaning up land that contains substantial amounts of refuse.
