East Bay Company Dumps Debris Into Customer's Yard Over Unpaid Bill, But They Moved Out

"The company's owner, Martin Perez, said he did his best to keep loose items from blowing into the street or others' yards. He explained he didn't have any other options, as discarding the junk would've cost him an additional $1,000 out of pocket because appliances were included in the debris."

"The responsibility to clean up the debris, which was still in the yard a week and a half after the incident, reportedly falls on the property owner."

"A neighbor's security camera filmed a truck from Express Rental Dumpster in the East Bay dumping loads of junk and household items into the San Pablo yard of a former tenant who skipped out on a $700 debt."

"This is not just between the driver and the neighbor. This started affecting all the community."

An East Bay dumpster company dumped junk back into a former customer's yard after they failed to pay a $700 debt. The company faced a $1,000 bill to discard the junk, which included appliances. The owner, Martin Perez, stated he had no other options and tried to prevent loose items from blowing away. The former tenant left only $2 and a smiley face invoice. The debris remained in the yard for over a week, and the property owner is responsible for cleanup. Local police found no crime committed, and city code enforcement is involved.
