Illegal dumping is out of control!
I had to run an errand yesterday, and I was appalled by the amount of illegal dumping that is taking place.
What does this say about our borough?
Laws need to be enforced.
We need to hold the offenders of this accountable. The only way to stop this is to impose fines on the perpetrators.
Perhaps a public shaming and the names of the persons/companies responsible for this! Some of the boxes dumped still had their mailing address attached. A Google search revealed a lot.
We see more of this because people do not know where to dispose of their electronics and bulk household items.
Years ago, you could drop paint, cardboard, furniture off at sanitation dump sites. I propose that we reopen or open a new site where people can dispose of electronics, mattresses, paint, etc. Perhaps we would not see so much dumping on the sides of the road.
They say pictures speak louder than words. Here are a few photos...
