Just yesterday we picked up a filthy pillow (not in a garbage bag) and some long tracks (like for a sliding door or something) that someone left for garbage next to our place – we are adjacent to an alley so we get a lot of dumped trash near us. I suppose we were prescient, though it hardly seems fair to penalize people who live near where others dump their trash…
Maybe email or call 311 and alert them to this dumping, so if you’re unlucky enough to be fined, you’ll have established an attempt to deal with it responsibly?
