cleaning up mud
Member
happens all the time, sit in the bays, each breakfast, lunch, throw the trash away and drive off, I stop them and tell them NOT to come back!
Be careful with that one!!! Your dumpster will be filled every day. Someone said to me why dont you put more bigger trashcans out so you dont have to be there as much. I said the more you have the more they will fill!!!! People will overfill to point then they sometimes give up. So I now have 3-30 gallon trash bins with lids, and 5 gal. buckets "with holes" at the end of each bay. Keeps trash to a manageable amount.I've given up on dumpers . My next step is to hang a sign that says: FOR EXCESSIVE TRASH PLEASE USE DUMPSTER.
Why in the world would you want to encourage dumping? Take some of the measures described here to discourage and minimize trash dumping your loyal customers will appreciate the fact that you are maintaining a clean wash and not allowing it to become a garbage dump.I've given up on dumpers .

I have signs on all my cans that say "These trash cans are for paying customers only, violators will be prosecuted". This wash is actually a wash I just purchased. I ran all the trash dumpers off from my old wash. Now they are all at my new wash. Fortunately I own every wash in town now, so I don't mind enforcing my rules a little harder.Did the girl dump bags of garbage or just use the trash can to clean out her van without buying anything? Unless you have a sign up like MEP suggested stating not to use the trash can without making a purchase, I would think the girl had no idea she was doing anything wrong. If she dumped household garbage bags, I would also be upset. I too have gone through bags of garbage to find an address to "return" it to its rightful owner.
I read on this forum a very long time ago that reducing the opening on the garbage can receptacles will cut down on garbage. I did this and it reduced the amount of bags of garbage I was getting by 80-90%. If they can't get it in the trash can, I think most (but not all) will think twice about just leaving the bags on the ground.
Unless it was a LOT of garbage, I would be worried about the bad publicity a young girl could spread through social media after being yelled at.
Not if they make special travel onto private property just to dispose of it.This looks like the Ohio litter law, and it appears small amounts (food sacks, etc)are allowed to be disposed of under law.
well, I didn't read that far into it. And I bet the police officers didn't either. That looks like what he needs to make his case.Not if they make special travel onto private property just to dispose of it.
Check out section C 2 "casual passerby" means a person who does not have depositing litter in a litter receptacle as the person's primary reason for traveling to or by the property on which the litter receptacle is located.Sparkey, the first step is to find out what your State's litter law is. Police are going to consult their law book if it is a gray area, or a situation they are unfamiliar with.

I would ask if this what they require for murders , assaults and robberies caught on tape. I am sure not. There is no reason for a higher level of prove for an offense with lesser penalties. I would also call the local prosecutors office to inquire if this is what the cops should be telling citizens who wish to report a crime. Get the info from prosecutor who says it's not true and next time a cop says this provide the prosecuters name and phone number.Now the new thing they are saying is video isn’t enough to prosecute someone for theft of services, still need to have 3 pieces of mail.
