The Gary Common Council recently approved more than $500,000 in grant funding to address two illegal dumping sites, which Gary Mayor Eddie Melton said he worked to secure last year.

The illegal dumping site at 890 Chase Street will soon be cleaned up following the Gary Common Council’s approval of a Indiana Department of Environmental Management grant May 21.

Melton said after he won the general election last year, IDEM informed him and Dumas that the department was in the process of citing the city about $800,000 for failing to address legacy dumping sites. The illegal dumping site at 1100 North Clark Road will soon be cleaned up following the Gary Common Council’s approval of a Indiana Department of Environmental Management grant May 21.

Andy Young, who is in the midst of a court battle with the city of Gary filed in 2005 against his salvage yard Andy’s Truck and Equipment Co. for violating local ordinances and public nuisance, also sent an email to the Post-Tribune this month about the illegal dumping at 890 Chase Street. Young said he told Gary officials about the dump site in 2020.
