Some Counties Dealing With Dumped Garbage That Had Been Covered By Snow

(Webster City, IA)  —  Some Iowa counties are dealing with dumped garbage that had been covered by snow.  Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Timmons says he hears frequent complaints about people dumping tires into county ditches.  Timmons says if his office is able to identify who’s doing that, “you will be charged criminally” and will be put in jail.  Dumpers will pay a fine plus landfill fees.  The sheriff says there’s a better option.  He points out that a pickup load of garbage will cost you about 10-dollars to get rid of it – and that will keep Hamilton County looking good.
