The city of Richmond has always had an illegal dumping problem, but officials say it has never been this bad.
Garbage problems have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels and cleanup costs are at an all-time high. City crews can barely keep up.
“Every week,” said David Shephard. “Every week they just go out here and have garbage out here. I don't like it." He pointed to a pile of garbage someone recently dumped on his street corner. He says every few days, a new batch of trash appears leaving his Richmond neighborhood a mess. “It's incredibly demoralizing to walk out on the street and see a bunch of trash and to feel like people don’t respect your home and where you live,” said Shiva Mishek, Richmond mayor’s chief of staff“We’re seeing mattresses, couches, a lot of tires, and then we see bags of trash,” said Mishek.
