Summary

A commissioner reported a large illegal dump in Precinct 4 containing mail and said the county will file felony charges; county staff reminded residents of legal disposal options.

A Victoria County commissioner said Aug. 18 that county crews discovered a large illegal dump in Precinct 4 weighing about 1,200–1,300 pounds and that mail found at the site could make the act a felony.

The commissioner described the dump as "a really large trash dump" between Beck Road and Bimbo and said "mail was found," noting the disposal weight was "over a thousand" pounds. The commissioner said the county will file charges: "we will file charges."

The commissioner urged residents to use the county’s courtesy station or legal disposal methods and said illegal dumping forces county employees to remove the material. The court did not take separate formal action during the meeting but the commissioner said he would pursue prosecution.

Why it matters: Large illegal-dump incidents can carry criminal penalties and create cleanup costs for county taxpayers; the commissioner signaled enforcement action.
