Frustrated over an unpaid debt and faced with a $1,000 bill to discard a giant pile of junk at the dump, an East Bay dumpster company instead unloaded it back into the nonpaying customer's yard, but the problem is they moved out when they rented the dumpster.

    Insurance for work done? What the fuck kind of industry do you work in? Who even insures things like this?

    They just gotta go clean it up, end of story. It’s going to be more expensive than if they had just eaten the cost and dumped it in the first place.

      I think OP meant insurance for non-payment.

          An obvious solution against bad debt is non-payment insurance or trade credit insurance: if your customer fails to pay you, your insurer compensates your company in the event of a non-payment.

            Damn, I had no idea that existed. Now I wonder what the cost is, I could have used it in the past.
