Planned program

Rapid Response Team

Once the Adelanto-area facility is built and funding is secured, High Desert Keepers plans to establish a full-time field crew dedicated to removing illegally dumped trash.

A consistent presence in the field

The initial Rapid Response Team is planned as a full-time, two-person crew operating five days a week. The team will respond to illegally dumped trash, carry out cleanup work and help restore affected desert areas.

A regular crew will allow High Desert Keepers to move beyond periodic cleanup events and provide a more dependable response to dumping across the region.

Initial operating plan

  • Two full-time crew members
  • Field operations five days each week
  • Removal of illegally dumped trash
  • Operations supported from the developing facility
  • Future expansion as funding and capacity grow

This is a planned program. Launch depends on completion of the facility and sufficient operating funding.
