COMPTON, Calif. (2UrbanGirls) – Demenno Kerdoon (DK), World Oil and Council member Tana McCoy invite you to help them clean up the Compton Creek. This announcement comes weeks after the city was fined $160,000, for raw sewage and other pollutants that spilled into Compton Creek at least eight times from 2010 to 2013, which the city failed to report.
Have DK’s campaign contributions silence City Hall and the Compton Unified School District?
DeMenno-Kerdoon has been a long-time business in the city of Compton that processes recycled used oil and antifreeze. Everyone and their mama, in the environmental world, knows this is nearly impossible. DK also has a long history of receiving violations for its activities in the Hub City.

Many wonder if the DK cleanups are attached to possible continued illegal dumping in the creek.
