White Truck Tag BMG 3741 Dumping in UIC Dekalb
« on: August 13, 2010, 10:42 am »
I came home last night to find some dickweeds dumping trash again in the vacant lot across from our house (on Cecilia Dr. off of Bouldercrest).  I got the tag number on their white pickup, and a really crappy picture on my camera phone (my hands were shaking, I was so mad).  It looks like they left paint cans and other trash, possibly from a construction site - different from the usual apartment eviction-looking trash we usually get over there.  I reported it to Dekalb Co. Sanitation, but they said it might have to go through the property owner, whether it's prosecuted or not.  I think the church up the street owns the lot, and they've seemed disinclined to do anything about it in the past, so we'll see. 

The truck had a logo on the side, "(Something) Waste", but I was so focused on getting the tag number that I forgot it.  Is there any way I can take the tag number and figure out who owns it?  I'd like to know for sure what the name was, so I can let people know to keep an eye out for it.  A long shot for sure, but my outrage is trumping my pessimism on this one.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of making a sign that says "NO DUMPING ON CHURCH PROPERTY - GOD IS WATCHING YOU" and nailing it up in the dead of night.  Not that it will help, but it might make me feel better.

I don't have kids.  I've never figured out what they're for.

If cars are passing you on the right you are in the wrong lane.

Nope, this was a lady driving the truck, and a guy unloading, both black.

Can you post the pictures? I think I may have seen these folks over on Key Rd, near the old prison farm dumping as well.

I'll see if I can get the pic I took off my phone (though it's not likely to be very helpful, unfortunately).
