The Petersburg dump was located on the waterside of Sandy Beach Road up until about 1967-68 when it moved to its current location up the hill from Sandy Beach. The dump has since been filled over and is the site of the Jody Tow home that was built by her grandfather Jim Leekley. Jean Curry stated that the station wagon sitting on the dock was owned by the Sandvik family. Local youth recall that the dump was considered, "out the road," and guys and gals would park on the dock because they could get radio reception from Lower 48 stations on their car radios.
