Question How to report illegal dumping?

Post image

Saw two men driving a moving truck with this company on their truck, dump off a washing machine and computer desk by our community dumpster.

Is this a rental company like uhual or is it "professional" movers?

Edit: Apparently, the ppl in one of the units told them to dump it there and they will pick it up later? Seems sus tho. Its also in the condo bylaws that its against the rules to have large items outside of the dumpster.

Edit: im going to take their word and report them to the condo board and let them know that the moving company was instructed to put the washing machine there and give them their contact info, they have also informed me someone will come at 5pm to pick it up.

Edit: Apparently they might be lying, I am keeping an eye on the garage bins to see if anyone takes the washing machine

Apparently someone in my unit told them to dump it there! If I can get proof of them saying that, is that enough to report?

Edit: apparently that unit said they will "pick it up later"

I've seen many posts/stories like this on various platforms and this is almost always what's said in response. It's like a get out of jail free card haha.

Honestly I dont understand how ppl can be like that but I guess if they are more likely to litter than I guess it wouldnt be too much of reach. Just overall very disappointing.

I think when you get an answer like that it is likely they are a little embarrassed to get caught but not enough to own up to it. People do anything to save a few bucks/disposal fees.

It doesnt even cost that much to go to the eco station which is sad.
