Stop Illegal Dumping
Help Clean Up Our Roads
If you’ve ever driven by an old couch, broken refrigerator or a heap of trash on the side of the road, we’re the ones who clean it up.
Illegal dumping is a big problem in Fresno County: it’s not only a safety hazard, it can cause serious health and environmental problems, too. And when our team is out in the field responding to illegal dump sites, it takes away from other important work we could be doing — everything from repaving roads to ensuring traffic signs are properly working. Let’s all work together to keep our roads safe and clean! Avoid illegal dumping fines and don’t leave trash along our streets.

Transportation Permits
About Permits
Special permits are issued to operate or move a vehicle, a combination of vehicles, or special mobile equipment of a specific size or weight defined in the California Vehicle Code. A transportation permit is required for any type of moving vessel at or over 14’ 0 height, 8’ 6 width, 65’ 0 length, and 80,000 lbs. in weight.
There are two types of transportation permits: one-trip and annual. A one-trip transportation permit is suitable for a single, one-way trip and is valid for five (5) business days after issuance. The annual permit is for companies to haul equipment through a pre-planned route as often as needed throughout the year. All permits will be enforced by California Highway Patrol.
