​In the 1940s and 1950s, illegal trash dumping started happening in the White Mesa community. Today, people still dump their trash in these trash dumps, and they are a sore sight to see when looking at the beautiful landscape in White Mesa. 

​

In 2019, Patrick used his skid-steer to clean up one illegal trash dump near his home. Now, plants are growing back, and the landscape is coming back to life. This photo shows the trash dump site that Patrick cleaned up.

More of these illegal trash dump sites can be cleaned up with your donations and the land restored to its beauty.
