TYLER – Acting on a tip, Smith County authorities have uncovered illegal dumping and a business has been charged in the case. They received the tip a couple of weeks ago that items had been illegally dumped at Madfos Metals. They’re located north of Tyler off U.S. Highway 271.
On Tuesday the business was served with a search warrant. A backhoe was brought to the property and authorities began digging. They say they found more than 1,000 pounds of illegally buried items on the back of the property. The business has now been charged with commercial illegal dumping which is a state felony.
