The notorious Portland Pisser is marking new territory.
For nearly a year, a mysterious man has been leaving milk cartons and water jugs full of urine in the recycling bins of one neighborhood in Oregon’s largest city.
He wears a hood and comes by night, like Santa Claus’ demented brother.
Now, this pisser may be expanding his operation — and his attacks may be getting more brazen.
Trish Bellingham from Beaverton, a suburb near the urine-soaked neighborhood, said she was working from home “in broad daylight” last Friday when a mysterious figure pulled up to her house, stuck something in her recycling bin and casually drove off, she told KATU.
“I immediately came outside to see what he had put into my can … I lifted the lid and I found two bottles of urine,” she said.
Bellingham knew what she was dealing with: The pisser’s reputation is well known around town, and she immediately called the TV station to aid its, ahem, yellow journalism.
It is unclear whether the new suspect is the original pisser or a mere copycat; Bellingham said he drove a white car, but previous footage — taken at night — seems to show him in a dark-colored vehicle.
But Bellingham believed him to be the same man.
“It just seems like a very deranged, very sick individual that would come through in a neighborhood,” she told KATU.
The attacks go back at least to last September, when northeast Portland resident Alex Van Duyn opened his own recycling bin to find a batch of six gallon-sized water bottles filled with urine.
The jugs kept coming, prompting Van Duyn to train a security camera on his curb in hopes of catching the scoundrel yellow-handed.
He captured footage of a hooded man rolling up by night in what appeared to be a BMW, then slinking out to his trunk and emptying armloads of piss-filled bottles into the bins, according to KATU.

Eventually, Van Duyn decided he’d had enough and stopped putting out his recycling — but the slippery suspect simply moved on to a neighbor’s recycling bin, and then on to another.
Van Duyn and other neighbors have contacted local police about the matter, but for now, the Portland Pisser’s rain of terror continues.
