"in the dumper"

I found this via firejoemorgan.com from an article in the Press Democrat.

Quote:
”...no one defends Sabean, his reputation is in the dumper. It’s in the dumper even though he was under orders from up above…”

I’ve heard of in the dumpster, but a dumper? Is that a person who dumps things? Did he eat Sabean’s reputation?
