Answer

Thank you for your question and I look forward to assisting you. Please keep in mind that I can only respond to your post and the information contained in it, as I do not know what you know unless you have put all of the information in your question. Also, due to site reasons, oftentimes I am initially only able to see the first part of your post, so I apologize in advance if it means more interactions between us. Also, there may be future facts that are as yet undetermined in your matter, that can and must leave some areas of information provided by me broad in nature. However, don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needed! At times, there can also be a delay of an hour or more in between my answers because I may be helping other customers or taking a break. That being said...

You have a few options:

1. You can call the police for illegal dumping. They should take a report.
2. You should then pay to have the concrete cleaned up.
3. You then send them a demand letter and ask them to pay you back.
4. You then sue them in small claims court.

Good luck,

I have contacted the owner of the concrete co. and he offered to buy the property....I do not want to sell. The amount of concrete is conciderable and would most likely run in the 100,000 to 250,000$ range to clean up. I don't have that kind of money. I would be willing to take a settlement if the numbers are right.

Accepted Answer

WOW! For that much money, you sue for damages. Include attorney fees as this sounds like a scheme to force you to sell. Go find a good trial lawyer now. Someone wants that property badly.
