(KTNC) -- People are being warned not to dump trash along roads in Richardson County, after officials have noticed an increase in the amount of trash being dumped along county roads.
The County Road Department and Sheriff’s Department say the trash being dumped includes furniture, carpeting, and bags of trash found at several locations.
