Summary
In July 2008, Adam Wirth reported a roadside accumulation of old car batteries, paint cans, a refrigerator, and unidentified fluid containers near an old shed on East Side Drive, close to a creek leading toward Lake Michigan. He offered to provide a truck and labor, then reported that he had completed the cleanup and that the transfer station had reduced the disposal price.
