Detroit Launches Temporary Fencing Strategy to Stop Illegal Dumping with Help from Leading Rental LLC

Detroit, MI – June 24, 2025 – In a determined move to curb illegal dumping and accelerate neighborhood revitalization, the City of Detroit has launched an ambitious campaign involving the use of temporary fencing around high-risk areas. This initiative is already showing promising results, with several dumping hotspots seeing immediate improvement after fencing installation.

With over 70 locations identified as chronic problem zones — including abandoned lots and alleyways — the city needed a fast, flexible, and cost-effective solution. That’s where Leading Rental LLC, a trusted name in the fence rental industry, stepped in to assist.

“Illegal dumping has long plagued our neighborhoods and slowed economic progress,” said Tonya Willis, Director of Sanitation and Blight Removal for Detroit. “By partnering with fence rental providers, we’re taking back our streets.”

Leading Rental LLC has supplied hundreds of feet of durable, weather-resistant fencing to cordon off vacant properties, construction sites, and lots awaiting redevelopment. These barriers help prevent unauthorized access, reduce environmental hazards, and protect areas scheduled for city clean-up or investment.

“Fencing is more than just a barrier — it’s a deterrent,” said Anne Smith, Director of Sales at Leading Rental LLC. “We’re proud to contribute to Detroit’s transformation by offering fast delivery, professional setup, and scalable solutions.”

Community leaders have praised the initiative, reporting a noticeable decline in illegal dumping activity. Residents in East Side neighborhoods like Chandler Park and Brightmoor have welcomed the fences as a sign of progress and renewed city commitment.

In addition to the temporary fencing installations, Detroit officials are exploring next steps including mobile surveillance systems and solar-powered lighting to further improve site security.

The city plans to expand the fencing program throughout the summer, using funding from state grants and urban redevelopment initiatives. The ultimate goal: restore safety, boost community morale, and attract new development.
