Fort Erie officials had to contact the Ministry of the Environment, after someone dumped eight 50-gallon barrels of toxic waste on town property.
The town also had to work with an environmental contractor, to make sure the barrels were disposed of properly.
They took care of it in a timely manner, so the surrounding environment was not affected.
You could face a minimum fine of $500 if you are caught illegally dumping waste where it doesn't belong.
You should contact Crime Stoppers if you spot illegal dumping in your neighbourhood.
