Suspect ID'd After Illegally Dumping Waste In West Babylon: Town

BABYLON, NY — An individual responsible for dumping illegal waste on a West Babylon street has been identified, Town of Babylon officials told Patch on Tuesday.

The suspect, whose name was not released, was investigated and identified after a security camera captured the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup, who illegally emptied three 55-gallon drums full of waste oil in the road at Jersey Street and Patton Avenue in West Babylon on Sunday night, officials said.

The Town of Babylon fire marshals and members of the East Farmingdale Fire Company responded to the scene to "investigate and remediate the spill," officials said. Crews utilized resources under the direction of Stanley Clayton from Environmental Control to clean up the roadway and dispose of the oil.

Officials told Patch the incident is still an "active investigation."

“We are continuing to gather evidence and footage to further our claims of illegal dumping,” said Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer.
