Portland Man Fined for Dumping Tires | Portland News

A Portland man named Darnell Williams just got slapped with a $24,219 fine for dumping over 3,600 tires across the city — caught on security footage and rental truck records. Authorities say this isn’t an isolated case; tens of thousands of tires have been illegally dumped locally, including a suspected 100,000-tire pile in Southeast Portland. Tires must go to approved disposal sites to protect communities and the environment — illegal dumping creates massive cleanup costs. Metro is urging residents to report dumping and use proper disposal locations to stop this from happening again. The steep fine sends a clear message: dumping tires won’t be tolerated.
