Do you know of an illegal dump site? The Caddo Nation's Environmental Program wants to know! Report illegal pollutants or dump sites to the Environmental Program by phone or email. Remember that any report can be made anonymously. Please help us keep our land clean and safe.
One example of how the Environmental Program is working to clean up these messes is the Shamayme Dumpsite Project. According to the Caddo Environmental Program Office (CEPO), the clean up of the Shamayme Dumpsite began on July 22, 2004 and was completed on August 13, 2004. Indian Health Services Environmental Health and Engineering office funded the project. The IHS Environmental Health office funds tribes in their jurisdictional boundaries to clean up illegal dumpsite that are brought to their attention. The CEPO used experienced HAZMAT certified workers to complete the job in a short period of time, even with several rain delays. Below are the before and after pictures of the Shamayme dumpsite.

The Caddo Nation's Environmental Program is working towards having a collection facility at the tribal complex so that we can all more easily recycle things such as cardboard, paper, and aluminum. In the meantime, the Environmental Program is collecting recyclable materials from employees at the tribal complex and transporting them to the collection facility at the Delaware Nation. All employees are encouraged to recycle as much of their trash as possible. For more information or to arrange to have items collected from your office, contact Polly Edwards
