Fly-dumped bathtub near 55th & S. Indiana
Folks just target specific areas of the city and simply dump stuff off on the street. The cumulative effects are significant and people often become desensitized to the overall blight. We have been using the term, “normalized blight” to describe…
Carpet thrown-in! How a fly-dumped pile grows over time on South Perry Ave.
Several rolls of discarded carpeting and additional trash were added to the site since our last drive-by. Since we are still calibrating and tweaking the workflow on this site, it has been rather interesting to see how a neglected, fly-dumped…
There’s something about Perry (5800 South)
A toilet base (wrapped in plastic) was recently added to the pile above. This particular section of South Perry is starting to become rather popular with fly dumpers. The other interesting issue to note is the “latency factor” relative to…

Some issues go unresolved for extended periods of time. When one takes a block-by-block approach, it is easy to notice that this particular section of Wabash has significant latency issues. We recently modified the site’s code to more effectively track…
Abandoned scrap wood and additional debris near 58th & S. Perry
A robust pile of fly-dumped wood (w/nails) and additional construction-related debris. This has been in place for some time, now, but the photo was just now posted… This can be totally rectified with communal support.
Fly dumping near the 5800 Blk. of S. State St.
This definitely jumped out at us. Fly dumping tends to occur in areas where the is an abundance of embedded filth (trash). Tracking latency is one way to help target problematic areas. Our posts now indicate the amount of time…
