Blackfeet tackle illegal dump site

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Some of Ray Wilson’s earliest childhood memories of visiting his grandmother are driving past mounds of trash on her land outside the town of Blackfoot.

Trees and ravines along the dirt road made the 1.5-mile stretch an ideal spot for illegal dumping.

Tired of seeing the trash, a team of Blackfeet tribal, county and city workers, along with student volunteers, removed about 200 tons of garbage from the site as part of a renewed effort to clean up and prevent illegal dumpsites on the reservation.

The lawsuit also seeks damages and injunctions against George Doerr, owner of George Doerr Body and Trailer, a former supplier to Shred-Tech and now a part owner of AXO Shredders.

About Dump Truck

A standard dump truck is a full truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The dump body is raised by a hydraulic ram mounted forward of the front bulkhead, between the truck cab (traction unit) and the dump body (semi-trailer). The tailgate can be configured to swing on hinges or it can be configured in the "High Lift Tailgate" format wherein pneumatic rams lift the gate open and up above the dump body.
