Resident Larry Lewis said he’s called city hall to complain and now has filed a police report.
“I have trash in the alley, all around my house,” he said. “Trash, people throw dressers, mattresses, everything from the house is in that alley.”
The City of Dayton said they monitor over 70 hot spots for illegal dumping, and they’re adding more surveillance cameras to battle the problem.
Officials also say they’ve conducted 242 investigations since 2012 and more than half led to convictions.
