Enforcement

Bedford County is striving to provide services that will benefit the residents of the County. There are still individuals that abuse the refuse collection system by scavenging, depositing prohibited materials into the collection system, throwing away out of county trash into our collection system and littering our roadways. Bedford County employs a Code Enforcement Officer, who enforces all solid waste regulations. Violators may be prosecuted in the court system. Please contact the Department of Solid Waste at 540-586-7656 if you witness any violations.
