Miranda Tumbach has been visiting the Carmi area for the past six weeks and is infuriated at the mess that is piling up.

Tumbach said her family has been working hard to clean up the one area they always like to visit, but it is never ending.

香蕉视频直播淓very time we go up, there is new garbage. There are couches, car parts, huge metal insulation and piping. Couches thrown off embankments off the side of the road, stuff I can香蕉视频直播檛 even get to if I wanted too.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭hey leave things in dangerous spots that could ignite a fire. It is awful. There is an area literally the size of a baseball diamond with garbage everywhere, and tons of it. It is a dumping ground.香蕉视频直播�

Tumbach has reported the issues to the RCMP, the Regional District of Okanagan-Simlkameen and the city, but feels little is being done. She reached out to the based in Kelowna, but they are too overwhelmed with illegal dumping around Kelowna to come help.

香蕉视频直播淗e told me they would mark it down as a problem area and they would try to make it out here, but it is not likely to happen,香蕉视频直播� said Tumbach.

Tumbach said she is truly fearful an unstoppable fire may ignite because of this illegal dumping.

I have reached out on Facebook to try to organize a community cleanup, but I haven香蕉视频直播檛 really had anybody offer to help out, so I am doing it on my own,香蕉视频直播� added Tumbach.
