Problems with trash in carport and dumpster area

Lesley Whitley

Posted

I have a fourplex in a "D" location in So. Cal. My tenants are pretty good, but how can I prevent neighborhood people from dumping trash in carport/dumpster area?  At night, at least once a week .... people come and dump everything from garbage, to refrigerators, to couches around my dumpster area and sometimes in the carport.  I just spent $125.00 today having that area cleaned out again.  This is a weekly scenario.  We tried putting a lock on the dumpster, but then trash got set on top of the locked lid, as well as all around the area.  Any ideas???   I am at my wits end!

Put up video cameras and big signs that say the area is under surveillance.
