U-Haul Dumping Crisis in Philly Park | Philadelphia News

Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park was hit with a massive illegal dumping scandal last Sunday—hundreds of tires dumped near the Centennial Arboretum, with a U-Haul truck stuck in the middle and later reported stolen. In response, the city launched its new Park Ambassadors program, a two-year pilot aiming to slash illegal dumping by 50%.

Cleanup is done, but the real battle is just beginning: tracking down those responsible and stopping future dumping.
