Jason Kleinrichert runs Tropical Landscapers in Florida and now finds himself in a concerning situation over his neighbor’s trash habits.

Kleinrichert says that there are, “roof tiles and cow manure stockpiles about 200 feet away from my well.” Kleinrichert has said that his neighbor is to blame for the dumping issue.
