What is Dumping Deterrent Signs – Denver, CO?
Dumping Deterrent Signs is a City and County of Denver Planning and Development PDF of printable warning signs against illegal dumping, in English and Spanish: a "NO DUMPING!" notice, a "SMILE, Our Security Cameras Can See You!" notice, and Spanish versions of both.
The "NO DUMPING!" sign states that dumping on public or private property is a punishable offense under Denver law. It asks people to report illegal dumpers to Denver Police and gives the non-emergency number, 720-913-2000. The Spanish sign, "¡PROHIBIDO TIRAR BASURA!", carries the same message and the same number.
The camera sign, "SMILE, Our Security Cameras Can See You!" (Spanish: "¡SONRÍE, nuestras cámaras de seguridad pueden verlo!"), is a shorter deterrent message. All three signs end with the line "Visit denvergov.org/CDdiversion or scan the QR code", also printed in Spanish.
The file is not a permit, a registration or an application, and it produces no approval. It is separate from the documents people usually look for under a Denver permit search. The city's page on Construction & Demolition Universal Recycling Requirements covers the waste diversion rules for demolition, residential construction and commercial construction permits; the signs only direct readers to the denvergov.org/CDdiversion address. The PDF prints no form number or revision date.
Who needs to file Dumping Deterrent Signs – Denver, CO?
Anyone in Denver who wants to post a warning against illegal dumping can use these signs. The "NO DUMPING!" text covers dumping on public or private property, so it is written for display wherever dumping is a concern. The camera sign is meant for places where security cameras are in use, since it tells the reader that cameras can see them.
The PDF does not say who is required to post the signs, where they must go or whether posting is mandatory, and it prints no signature or representative rules. Treat it as a ready-made notice, not a filing.
Do not use it as a permit or as proof of compliance. The waste diversion requirements on the city's Construction & Demolition Universal Recycling Requirements page are tied to demolition, residential construction and commercial construction permits that meet size criteria; trade permits (Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical and similar) are not subject to them. People who need to report a dumper should call Denver Police at the non-emergency number printed on the sign.

- Posting the camera sign, "SMILE, Our Security Cameras Can See You!", where no cameras are in use; the sign states that security cameras can see the reader.
- Cutting off the line "Visit denvergov.org/CDdiversion or scan the QR code" when printing; every sign relies on it to send readers to the city's information.
- Printing only the English or only the Spanish sign when you want both audiences covered; the PDF gives each message in both languages.
- Treating the "NO DUMPING!" sign as a permit or as compliance paperwork; it is a notice, and waste diversion reporting for permitted projects is handled in the Green Halo tool.
- Calling the Denver Police non-emergency number, 720-913-2000, for an emergency; the sign labels it as the non-emergency line.
- Assuming trade permits (Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical and similar) need these signs or waste diversion plans; the city's page says the diversion rules do not apply to them.
