I live in farmland down south of Morgan Hill. And every weekend, trucks like this come by and dump somewhere in our neighborhood and they do it at night when everyone is sleeping and since our house is 500 ft off the road, you never hear them do it. Drive down the street and bam, new pile of garbage. It takes about a week for it to get cleaned up and Piles that end up in front of my house I end up cleaning up and running to the dump just to get rid of it since sometimes they pull up into my field and dump it and if its not on the city street, I get stuck with the bill of cleaning it up. And it sucks, it costs money to dump and I am having to pay someone else's bill. I think it should be a high fine and minimum 30 days in jail for the first offense, and double it on the second, then give them a year for the third and remove their drivers license and make them wear ankle bracelets so they can be tracked. Its a huge problem, 34 million pounds of illegally dumped garbage just in Oakland, what about all the other cities around it? And companies like this do rent out their trucks, especially if business is slow and they need money to make the payments on those trucks. Its a risk yes with insurance, but sometimes you have to do it to make ends meet and pay the bills. It sucks for them if someone like this uses it to do something illegal because everyone will blame the business instead of the driver. SO this tree business will lose business because someone rented his truck committed a crime and he will pay for it just like we all paid to have that mess cleaned up.

These Companies should Definitely be held accountable. They hire the drivers, tell them to make the junk go away and don't bring it back. You can bet if there was accountability, they would be registered as frequent violators, who see Oakland as a "go to" dumpsite, and with the gentleman filming the act, got caught this time. Years ago, public dumps were accessible to all, and the problem wasn't as prevalent, as now. Fees to dump have gone crazy high, that's if what you're dumping qualifies for that particular dumpsite. How about those billion some odd gallons of toxic liquid substances (including raw sewage) that got dumped into San Francisco bay and surrounding waterways last week. Think about how tough it was to determine how much, and for how long that has been going on, and more importantly, who cleans up that toxic mess, as it makes its way into your ground water table .

good job brother keep filming

The owner was shocked. When asked for comment, he said, "We don't condone that in any way! I always tell my employees to cover our logo before they do ... er.. I mean we rented it out that weekend... Yeah, that's the ticket..."

How in the heck is that stupid owner going to not take responsibility saying it doesn't have anything to do with him? Yes it does. That's your truck. Those are your workers. That's your crap. I hope the city gets that owner and puts him out of business and sues him for everything he has

"Thank you to the anonymous reporter. It's frustrating to see so much lawlessness with little repercussions. As a cyclist who rides in the Oakland hills weekly, I can confirm that illegal dumping is a common occurrence. Taxpayers and residents of Oakland end up paying for the cleanup. The fines for illegal dumping need to be increased as it is cheaper for people to avoid the landfill and continue this practice, given the low odds of getting caught. It costs more than $1000 to send a city crew to clean up such sites. If the fine amount was raised to $10,000, it might deter people from illegal dumping and the increased revenue could help pay for the cleanup costs and even some of the frequent dump sites.
