Cities spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, many spend millions each year to clean up illegally dumped trash and then pay to dump it in legal landfills. Illegal trash dumping can begin with a small pile of household items dumped in a vacant lot or in an alley. If this trash is not removed, the rubbish soon attracts more dumping creating which, in turn, gives the perception that a neighborhood is in decline and is unsafe.

OUR SOLUTION

Develop a comprehensive program to tackle illegal dumping in your city by first installing FlashCAM in problem areas. Costs associated with clean-up and surveillance will no longer be necessary, therefore, giving cities the opportunity to use these funds to develop successful programs that include anti-dumping messages on billboards or signage, school programs to educate youth, public service announcements to increase public awareness, and information to direct residents to legal dumping facilities. Make FlashCAM part of YOUR strategy!

Note the locations where trash dumping occurs most frequently. Pre-install a Quick Move Adapter at these locations to enable fast and easy installation of a FlashCAM system. Set the FlashCAM for “delayed take” and 3-4 photos per event, using the special license plate mode. Our representatives will help you with tactics and ensure that you are getting the most out of your FLashCAM. For your customized message, it's a great idea to mention possible fines in the voice message and that hazardous waste dumping could result in jail time. Set up a program to issue citations and levy fines.

Document your trash deterrent program. Track when and where the FlashCAMs are installed. Take before and after photographs of the site. Note how long a system is placed at a location before it is moved. Track the amount of money spent on removal of illegal trash dumping before and after FlashCAM systems are used in your deterrent program. This ongoing record will serve you well at city council meetings and when setting budgets.
