Yeah, saw that. Literally a dump truck dumping shit on someone else's property is illegal.

It seems it's a rental, and the property owner is somehow being held responsible too. Maybe they can get it dumped onto the front lawn of the SPPD, since it's not iillegal and will become their problem.

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?
