SFR Illegal Dumping

[Old406Kid]

This happens all too often and sadly the victim is often an elderly person that can no longer do this on their own much less pay twice or be fined.

WDFW Officer Peters and Wicklein were patrolling in the Stanwood area when they discovered multiple large bags of household trash that had been dumped at the Hevly Access area. They donned gloves and took on the unpleasant task of looking through the trash for any identifying information, only to discover that numerous pieces of mail had been thrown out. They were able to track down the owner of the trash and contact her. She claimed she had paid someone to take the refuse to the dump, and she had no idea that it had been illegally dumped. She was told to remove the trash, or she would be issued a $1,500 infraction for illegal dumping. Less than 12 hours later, all the trash had been removed. A rare success story in the never-ending battle against illegal dumping on state land.

I confess your honor. I put that letter under that big pile of garbage!

Yeah, your right, that happens a lot.

Yes yes, very interesting, but why is a 12 year old wearing a LEO uniform and carrying a gun?

I didn't want to get started on a litter/dumping rant, but here goes.
My son and I were out rock hounding up in the hills/mountains above Riddle, OR when we come to a pile of crap at a dead end on a road that is way the hell up on top of one of the mountains.
We were about an hour from pavement.
Why would ya drive way the hell back in the woods when it would be cheaper on gas to drive to the waste management dump station.
We loaded up the pickup with this house hold crap and I paid $5.00 at the dump station on the way home.
I really don't like all asshats and litter bugs.

Minimum at Salem OR's waste management is 25 dollars.

Douglas Co. has raised it's prices too!!!!
I believe it is now $25.00 also.
Cost of living has gone up on everything and that my friends is enough out of me.

Yep, She's a real law breaker, better fine her to the full extent of the law. Meanwhile.......








Wonder how many fines have been issued for this ?

Garbage service should be paid for by taxes so that everyone has it no ifs ands or buts. it costs way more to deal with the illegal dumping than if it happened the right way in the first place. The only people who would be paying more are the dumpers.

I was in rural ID and came upon a random free for all transfer site. I’m curious as to the feasibility of it in WA, but would likely get behind shuffling around some tax dollars to fund this as opposed to other vanity projects.

there used to be free dumps on the washington coast that also provided us a great place to sharpen our shooting skills on rats.

Yachats OR just a bit out town was an open pit garbage dump site. Imagine black bear sized rats. The bears would run behind your parked rigs. They would just lay on the garbage and root their heads in as they ate… occasionally look up for some air.

There was a dump between Humptulips and Stevens Creek. The other one between Tokeland and Grayland.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch - this past Friday I drove into a trail head and found a homeless camp beginning to set up. The property is WDFW owned and I have reported it (hopefully to the right DFW site). It's worrisome to leave my truck parked in place like this with this kind of "camp".

Any illegal dumping is maddening but I have to wonder if the lady in my original post had honestly paid someone/scumbag in good faith and instead they pocketed the money they charged her for disposal fees. I say this because most 'seasoned illegal dumpers' would most likely be sure that there was no info to trace it back to them.
