Seems like the dumpster company would have some kind of insurance for this kind of situation. Its the cost of doing business if they didn't get enough information to track the guy down. And they should learn a lesson, next time get a deposit or credit card for whatever the max cost could be. You don't go litter because he didn't pay, you pay for it then sue. How do they not have reserve cash to solve this then try to sue after?

Insurance for work done? What the fuck kind of industry do you work in? Who even insures things like this?

They just gotta go clean it up, end of story. It's going to be more expensive than if they had just eaten the cost and dumped it in the first place.

I think OP meant insurance for non-payment.

Damn, I want that sort of insurance. Do you offer it?
