Fines for illegal dumping in Ward 5's Central neighborhood can reach up to $25,000, but it hasn't stopped the litterbugs from leaving trash everywhere.
Homeowner LaRhon Wheeler told the 19 News Troubleshooter she’s not just talking trash, she’s frustrated after taking her fight over illegal dumping to City Hall, “It’s not fair to us that we have to live like this. I’ve been trying to get all this trash picked up for the last four weeks.
An unsightly view for homeowners on East 68th Street who have to travel the neighboring road to get out of their development. Cleveland Councilman Richard Starr showed up to meet with concerned neighbors after a call from 19 News. We wanted answers about how and when the long-standing illegal dumping problem would be cleaned up.
But there’s another concern - bright orange signs posted in the area threatening a fine of up to $25,000 for dumping and security cameras in the area that might not be capturing litterbugs in the act.
