Warm weather brings illegal dumping back to Detroit

As the weather warms, illegal dumping becomes a prominent issue in Detroit, with both suburban business owners and locals using vacant lots as dumping grounds. Those caught face significant fines and potential jail time, though free disposal options are available at several city facilities, including Southfield Yard, Davison Yard, and J. Fons Yard. Residents can report illegal dumping via the Improve Detroit app.
