Respect-O-Meter: Neighbor
Dumpster Divers

Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with dumpster divers?  Are the police responsive to this issue?  There is a person who dives behind a dumpster every morning on my street at 5:30 am!  It is noisy and messy.  I'm hesitant to contact the police about this seemingly trivial issue but it is quite a  nuisance.  I have also thought about contacting the property owner (a local business on 4th) and asking them to get a dumpster that closes and locks!  Any ideas?

If you do not report it, the police will never know and will never come out. Come to the local Neighborhood Meetings on the 1st Thursday of each month. 7:ooPM at the park on Cherry Ave.

Make the report there.

Yes, it is important to stop the thief. He may be looking for someone's ID.

Yes, call the LB Police non-emergency phone number 562.435.6711 or 911.  Get a report number so you can call back and get information on what happened.  Any time you call the Police, get the report number.  This ensures that a report IS taken and Police action must be taken.

Alamitos Beach Neighborhood Association meets the SECOND Thursdays of each month.  Get the information from this web site.

dumpster "digging" and "tagging" are a constant problem and they all need to be reported.
