Farmer Dumps Trash Back at Owner's House

0:00A farmer in Caledon, Ontario recently shared a story on Instagram about dealing with illegal dumping on his cornfield. Dave Snyder spotted a big pile of trash while checking his crop early one morning around 3 or 4 a.m. What made it easy was that the garbage included mail with the owner's home address clearly printed on it. Instead of cleaning it up himself, Snyder loaded the mess onto his tractor scoop and drove it back to the address, which was about 16 minutes. Away at tractor speed, he pulled right up to the house and dumped it in the driveway, letting the owner's know it came from his field. Social media users love the bold move, with comments praising Snyder as a hero without a cape. His farm workers and family now joke about returning every bit of trash they find, turning it into a running gag around the property. This isn't the first time Snyder has faced dumping issues on his land, but he says he tries to stay calm these days to avoid getting too upset. In Ontario, illegal dumping carries heavy fines, sometimes over $100,000 in certain areas.
