People caught leaving garbage in Winamac’s Town Dump will soon face a heavy fine. The site at 200 West and 50 North is designed to give residents a place to leave yard waste, like branches and grass. But people have reportedly been dumping trash there, including building materials, tires, and furniture.
Now, if someone’s caught leaving these items, they’ll have two days to remove them, or they’ll be charged $500 for each additional day the trash is left there. The town council approved an ordinance setting those fines last week. It will take effect 30 days after notice is published in the local newspaper.
