All New Mexicans are affected by illegal dumping; it causes significant negative impacts to public health and safety, the environment, water quality, aesthetics, and our economy. 

Organizations and individuals are joining together as Partners for a Clean New Mexico to develop a plan to prevent illegal dumping on all lands within the State.  The Partners held community meetings to present goals and objectives, and to receive input from the public on proposed projects. 

The comment period ended January 28, 2008.
