The Ugly Side of Saving Money: When Dumping Shit Willy-Nilly is OK...?

Photography is an art form I really love but don’t do enough of. Once again, Steemit motivated me...

My lovely neighbor has been dumping all sorts of lovely construction debris on his property!

I am not the type to tell on a neighbor... nor do I want anyone to have the hands of the law grop them but you see this kind of shit could bring me very close to calling some government agency.

I did call the town, however I didn't point a finger towards anyone. I called to find out how illegal this sort of dumping was. The wood and all the brush material is fine but the concrete, the asphalt and construction garbage is supposed to be dumped in proper sorting stations around town.

What bothers me is the asphalt and the random bits of fiberglass, plastic and general construcion material found in houses... and than the thought of what I don't see being dumped and burried! And we share a pond that is bellow his dumping site. I'm worried it's being contaminated.

I don't know what to do about it, but I called the neighbor the other day to warn him about someone frantically dumping garbage on his property, in a hurry like they didn't want to get caught. He said they were his employees but acted as if he didn't know what they were dumping.

I don't think it's ignorance, I think he knows it pollutes the land and he really loves the forest and all so it must be the power of money that drives him to doing this.

It's sad but I will keep trying to talk some sense into him instead of having the authorities give him hell. We aren't living entirely legally ourselves on the homestead either. In the eyes of the state, composting our black gold is kind of frowned upon!!!

We've got to play this thing wisely!
