Portland Man Fined $24K for Dumping 3,674 Tires | Portland News

A Portland resident got slapped with a $24,219 ticket for dumping 3,674 tires on public land — part of four linked incidents tracked via security footage and rental records. The massive fine covers cleanup costs plus a $2K penalty, while Portland Metro’s RID Patrol has removed over 15,000 tires this year alone. Tens of thousands more have been dumped across the region, including a shocking 100,000-tire pile in East Portland. Authorities warn businesses and residents to use approved disposal services — and report illegal dumping via Oregon Metro’s website, which tracks cleanup progress in real time.
