PRINCE GEORGE – Living in Prince George means the great outdoors is just a short drive away.

However, those short commutes can tempt some people to dump their garbage in secluded areas.

There are times when the Conservation Officer Service investigates locations with large loads of garbage.

Spruce City Wildlife members and other volunteers for the last six years have been leading the charge in cleaning the backcountry.

The volunteers estimate it has collected thousands of pounds of garbage and twenty abandoned vehicles since 2016.

To report illegal dumping, people can call the RAPP hotline.
