Legal fight over Bloom Township illegal dump heads to court
Cook County seeks cleanup of an 18 acre site along Glenwood-Dyer Road tied to Sandridge School District 172 and six other landowners. Albert Witvoet claims he owns the property and is not responsible for garbage dumped after houses were torn down. The case, ongoing since 1995, centers on zoning rules and who pays for removal, with a May 12 hearing to decide consolidation and hearings.
