Are you kidding me? Get off your butt and reopen this report. There is a picture with a specific address. It's a pile of junk! What, I'm supposed to give you an inventory? I assume you are being paid a salary while I am not, get to work and earn it!

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for responding to our message. We ask the public to provide a description of the items illegally dump because knowing the types of items that have been dumped helps us better schedule their removal. We have vehicles that only pick up mattresses, vehicles that only pick up tires, etc. Knowing what has been dumped at the location will help us prevent delays in the removal of the illegal dumping. Your request had no comments or image attached to it. Please in the future provide and image or provide a general description of the items illegally dumped. Fo example, mattresses, couches, clothing, garbage bags, tires, paint cans, etc. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I profusely apologize. I had taken a picture first, then filled in the fields and then pushed send -- or I thought I did when obviously I hadn't. Again, sorry for my error and taking an aggressive stance..
