Afterhours courtesy patrol services?? We've caught plenty of trash throwers and dumpster divers both! Services can start as low as $700/ mth

Put gloves on/ open the bag! You will find the name eventually! You must have an addendum that allows for the trash fines or it won't hold in court if they challenge you

$50 is a cheap fine. $100, even $150 seems to accurately reflect the manual.cost of dealing with problem. That said, ask why....besides a nuerological disorder mental illness the answer might be worth hearing.If you were walking trash to dumpster and bottom broke out (cheap bags, broken glass sliced through) what would 90% of people do, go back and get another bag to rebag, or leave it ?

Amy Gruver same here. Once we had someone off property dump on ours and they thought they were slick and removed their names off all the magazines...... but missed 1. Lol. Cops were at their door and they came back and took everything back out. As for residents, we would find whose it was, return it to them with a note that said we found their lost garbage and they need to properly dispose of it.

I actually put gloves on and find out who it belongs to. Then we fine them a sanitation fee. Most likely there will be trash in the bag with a name!
