Illegal dumpers using shuttered Burbank School in Detroit to leave mess App lets Detroit residents report messes Tags: Illegal dumpers have been using the permanently closed Burbank School to leave unwanted items. The problem has been going on for years and illegal dumping tends to increase as the weather warms up. Over the weekend someone left an old boat in the school parking lot. “I’m worried because my grandkids can’t play here,” Wimbush said. Wimbush reached out to the Help Me Hank team because he was upset by the mess he could see out his front door. “It’s awful what they’ve done here. I lived here for 28 years and it’s worse than ever before,” Wimbush said.
