Dumping Garbage

By:
Minneota Police Chief Bill Bolt
Did you know that putting garbage in someone else's garbage can be a crime? I am not talking about picking up some liter on the street and putting it in a trash can on the curb.
What I am talking about is placing your garbage in a dumpster that you are not paying for.
This often happens at businesses, constructions sites and even staging areas for the garbage company.
Those who do this are most often disposing of larger items, items that have a special disposal fee or are simply too cheap to pay for a dumpster to be delivered to their home.
Be an adult.
Take responsibility for your own garbage and pay to have it disposed of properly.
We don't want it dumped on a county road and we certainly shouldn't expect someone else to pay for it.
