SOLID WASTE SCAM ALERT

The City of Denton has alerted us to a scam related to solid waste disposal services.  Someone had legally rented a disposal dumpster from the City of Denton for disposal purposes. Then a photo of the dumpster was taken by a third party who then, posted it on a neighborhood Facebook page, and purported to sell capacity in the dumpster for $400.  Payment to this third party was arraigned through Venmo and Zelle.  The person that actually rented the dumpster from the City then had to deal with people that thought they had bought capacity in the dumpster and wanted to dispose of their waste not knowing it was not allowed.  Please be aware of this scam.
