Despite the sign and threat of a fine, someone dropped off painted construction wood in the burn pile at the Humphrey City Dump. The sign clearly states “No painted wood,” people have repeatedly dropped off items not allowed in the burn pile or other parts of the dump. The City of Humphrey received a letter on non compliance last year, and the problems continue this year. Democrat photos
