HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – An illegal dump site behind an abandoned Pizza Hut in the 8000 block of Antoine Drive in Inwood has been growing for the past three to four months.
The site is filled with discarded couches, mattresses, dressers, and even an aquarium, while nearby workers and residents say their repeated calls to Harris County 311 have gone unanswered.
Kenneth Ray, who works next door, has the emails to prove it. He says he contacted both law enforcement and Harris County 311 multiple times since April, but the trash remained untouched.
2 Helps You took the issue directly to the official responsible for the area, Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis. His office opened a case and said it is now working with Harris County Public Health to address the problem.
However, officials cautioned that an immediate cleanup is not guaranteed because the dumping is located on private property.
We will continue to monitor the situation and return once cleanup efforts begin.
