Mystery Garbage Dumpers
 by NineInchNachos on 2/11/2008 @ 4:38pm |
I just got off the phone with the wife.
Anybody ever come home to find a pile of black plastic garbage bags dumped behind their house in the alley? What can one do in this situation? |

Call up (253) 591-5001 to report illegal dumping. If they do have a prob, just use one of your two free Call-2-Haul's. Call (253) 573-2468 or visit TacomaServices.org Good luck! |

The best website ever made! really. |

NS says this was not a magic trick. NS frequently finds trash in the alley, NS frequently picks it up. NS once found a human turd in his bottle recycling bin. NS now thinks that was somewhat funny, but not when he had to clean it up. NS sorry about your problem. Late. |

It could have been worse. Some people who illegally dump leave asbestos or some really scarry stuff. |
by NumbSkull on 2/11/2008 @ 11:11pm | NS thinks poop is more scary than asbestos. (kidding) Late. |

by NumbSkull on 2/12/2008 @ 6:14pm | NS wrote a Haiku about the alley plight... want to hear it? Well here it goes...
Garbage unsightly, alleys a dark place to dump, trash, bottles or poop. Late, NS |

It's a good thing that you got it handled soon. Garbage dumpers tent to pile on (pardon the pun) when they think they can get away from disposing garbage in an area. |
by NineInchNachos on 2/12/2008 @ 8:44pm | newsflash: garbage has been removed by the city. I hope they really stick it to those dumpers. |
by KevinFreitas on 2/12/2008 @ 8:47pm | Think they'll be able to ID them? I suppose a quick sift through their dumped items might reveal an envelop or solicitation or two that would help track 'em down. |
by NineInchNachos on 2/12/2008 @ 9:11pm | Yeah. The house the garbage came from is a chronic dumper. |
