Illegal dumper caught in the act


Illegal dumper caught mid-afternoon Tuesday.
The man is standing next to the rear tire,
holding a pallet which he pitched behind the dumpster.

Like many other Plainfield drivers, I find the ban on left-hand turns from eastbound Front Street onto Somerset Street an inconvenience.

Also like many other Plainfield drivers, I sometimes shortcut through the Horizons at Plainfield driveway to the alleyway behind which comes out at the Halal market, where one can turn left onto Somerset Street and head into North Plainfield.

Doing so mid-afternoon on Tuesday, I encountered a truck blocking access to the alleyway.

Its driver was throwing wooden pallets on the ground next to one of the building's dumpsters. My photo manages to catch only his legs (by the rear wheel). He is holding one pallet and has pitched several on the ground behind the dumpster.

Who is the offender? Soriano Plumbing & Heating of Newark. License 12815. Phone: (973) 583-6473. See their website here.

Before I could get closer, the driver got in the van and left, driving through the "Do Not Enter" sign in the Horizons driveway.

I didn't see any PMUA markings on the dumpsters and guess they may be from a commercial hauler.

In any event, since dumping is a problem, wouldn't you think someone would mount a cam (especially since they are now so small) to monitor the dumpsters?
