Hi David. I visited the site yesterday and got footage.As a result, I identified two more dumpers. One involved grass
clippings and the other cut trees, so are of a less serious variety but I think a ticket or a request to remove the material is
in order.
- Dumper#1: Dumping of brush on sat. 5/18/13 at 432 pm by a green chevy Silverado truck, plate is 468 XXJ. It
belongs to an Adrian Shehu, born 1956, who lives at 4 Desmond Terrace in Salem.
- 2"d incident of dumping by same individual the next day on sun. 5/19 at 1245 pm (more grass clippings). I assume he
realized the transfer station was closed on Sunday and cannot claim he just "got there late and missed the gate"
My opinion, he should get two separate tickets of$100 each.
Dumper#2:A full truckload full of cut branches dumped on Monday 6/24/13 at 351 pm. It is possible this was a rejection
turned away from transfer station and guy got lazy(not sure when they close).
A red chevy truck, MA plate 478 RF4 registered to a Kenneth H. Hitchings, born 1957,of 5 Newbury St Beverly was used
in the dumping.
There is also a car that visited the site in May that left a 5 gallon pail of exceedingly foul smelling material at the site. I
will check it again when I am there next. It may be sewage or some kind of rotting grease. Lucky for him he avoided the
plate cam by coming in off the street at a strange angle away from the plate cam so we missed him.The vast majority of
plates coming thru the site at nite are readable but most cars are simply turning around.
I am going to reload batteries today and have enough cams now to keep going until the new business moves in. It still
seems like it could attract a more serious dumping at any time.
