> I live in an area where people dump debris (furniture, construction debris, yard waste) in the public park and on sidewalks every day.

>I would love to hire security to watch for dumpers and report them to the city's dumping hotline, along with descriptions and plate numbers.

If that's really a serious problem in your area, you and your neighbors can set up a neighborhood watch/surveillance cameras/etc. to address that without hiring private security to do it for you.

Or are you too good to support your neighbors and neighborhood with your time and effort?

Want to have a good neighborhood? Be a good neighbor.



I spend seven hours a week cleaning up litter, watching for dumpers, and reporting garbage; that is the limit of the time and effort I can give.

I have no more time but I do have money.

Supporting my neighbors and neighborhood is exactly what I want to do - assuming they also want clean streets - so your criticism is really a stretch.
