Description

On any given day there is an occurrence of illegal dumping on 5th St between Lemon St and Solano Ave. Huge piles of trash of all sorts, mattresses, bed springs, sofas, chairs, tables, cabinets, a literal cornucopia of the leavings of the economically disadvantaged.

Vallejo would serve the better interests of its citizens by opening a free dumping yard. All that would be required is that people who have stuff to get rid of attest to being unable to afford the cost of having Recology pick up their rejects or other reasons that require them to get rid of things quickly. For the house cleaners who get by on thin margins a small fee should be charged that can be easily born by frequent users. Yes, it would cost the city but what is the present system of trash dumping here and there across Vallejo costing? I think I speak for those who want better from their city government.
