KC community garden's beauty spoiled by illegal dumping

But on Monday, someone spoiled the garden's beauty- illegally dumping couches, chairs, tables and other garbage feet away from the garden.

"I don't know why someone would come and just throw that garbage there in front of that beautiful community garden. It doesn't make sense," said Mary Cyr, director of Northeast Alliance Together, an organization aimed at improving the quality of life and development in the Northeast.

Cyr said illegal dumping is a problem throughout the northeast. The two main sources- people dumping garbage on abandoned properties and property owners evicting their tenants and leaving their furniture on the curb.
