San Pablo Dumpster Company Dumps Customer’s Trash on Driveway in Payment Dispute

City code enforcement has opened an investigation into the dumping.

Overview

  • Ring doorbell video shows an Express Rental Dumpster driver emptying a full load onto a San Pablo driveway during a scheduled pickup.
  • Owner Martin Perez says the customer’s credit card kept declining and says he avoided costly landfill fees by ordering the trash left on the property.
  • A neighbor says the homeowner told her she had already paid $700, creating a direct conflict with the company’s account.
  • Police responded, told the driver to move debris off the sidewalk and fully onto private property, and city code enforcement has opened a case.
  • Scavengers later picked through the pile and spread trash, and neighbors cleaned up and covered the debris with a tarp.
