OAKLAND -- Authorities said illegal dumping costs the city of Oakland tens of millions of dollars each year.An Oakland man shared his cellphone video with CBS News Bay Area to show how bad the problem is. The video showed a man dumping a truck load of roofing construction debris in a parking lot. The truck bore the logo of a tree-trimming business based in Concord.The parking lot is located next to the Oakport soccer field and Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline Waterfront Trail.
On the company website, no where does it say truck rental as part of the business.
