Seems like the dumpster company would have some kind of insurance for this kind of situation. Its the cost of doing business if they didn't get enough information to track the guy down. And they should learn a lesson, next time get a deposit or credit card for whatever the max cost could be. You don't go litter because he didn't pay, you pay for it then sue. How do they not have reserve cash to solve this then try to sue after?
An obvious solution against bad debt is non-payment insurance or trade credit insurance: if your customer fails to pay you, your insurer compensates your company in the event of a non-payment.
Yeah, saw that. Literally a dump truck dumping shit on someone else's property is illegal.
It seems it's a rental, and the property owner is somehow being held responsible too. Maybe they can get it dumped onto the front lawn of the SPPD, since it's not iillegal and will become their problem.
Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's a crime. Criminal court exists to cover cases and provide disincentives where regular civil action would be inadequate.
Yeah, everyone in the area should dump their trash onto the SPPDs lawn as it is no longer illegal. Hell might also put the shitty dumpster company out of buissnes as well.
Earlier this month, 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, as KGO reports.

Insurance for work done? What the fuck kind of industry do you work in? Who even insures things like this?
They just gotta go clean it up, end of story. It's going to be more expensive than if they had just eaten the cost and dumped it in the first place.

I think OP meant insurance for non-payment.

Damn, I had no idea that existed. Now I wonder what the cost is, I could have used it in the past.

Honestly, the answer here is to use the renters deposit to clean it up

Weird. Every time I rent a dumpster, I pay up front. I only owe more if the weight goes above a certain threshold, which it never has.
