Residents of a neighborhood in southwest Houston said a vacant lot has become a popular place for illegal dumping, despite their many calls to the city of Houston.
“The city comes and picks it up, then people re-dump it, but this time it has lasted over three months and they tell me that they can’t pick up the tires, they can only pick up a portion of it,” said Alene Williams, who lives near the lot, and the trash, on Markwood Lane.
“After further investigation by our field supervisor, today, this pile is not an old pile and it reaches past the property line of service. We expect the property owner to take responsibility for this matter,” wrote Tyra Wilkins, public information officer for the city’s solid waste management department, in a statement to KPRC2.“It’s just embarrassing to have people come over and have to get out and see that or when you walk out you have to see that when you leave home,” Williams said.
