Here’s a new scam going around. If you look close, and know Oklahoma, we are pretty sure there’s no St.Louis county and Clayton Missouri isn’t in Oklahoma either.
There isn’t even an Oklahoma statute 47 O.S. § 11-112.

Woods County roads aren’t your dumping ground.
These photos were taken right here in our county — and this kind of trash doesn’t just look bad. It harms livestock, blows into fields, blocks ditches, and costs taxpayers to clean up.

🚫 Illegal dumping is a crime

Under 21 O.S. § 1761.1, it’s unlawful to “place, throw, drop, dump, deposit, or discard any garbage, trash, waste, rubbish, refuse, debris, or other deleterious substance on public property or private property without consent.”
Violations can bring fines up to $5,000 and even jail time.

🌾 Help keep Woods County clean

Secure your loads. Use proper disposal sites. Report illegal dumping when you see it.

Let’s take pride in our county — and keep our roadsides clean.

Note:
The person responsible for this dumping was located and we will be looking for others.
