Is Your Illegal Dumping Program Successful?
Is your Illegal Dumping Program successful or is it ineffective?
Most cities throughout the United States are experiencing the undesirable journey of illegal dumping within their municipality. Hopefully, most have implemented some type of Illegal Dumping Program which was put together to stop illegal dumping in the community.
Illegal dumping harms the environment in so many ways. Besides the unsightly heaps that bring the community down and depressed, unauthorized dumping sites harbor creatures such as mosquitoes and rats that carry disease. Regrettably, the worst environmental effect is the plastics and toxins that leach into the soil while the discarded items decompose.
Contaminated soil can affect the food we eat, the water we drink, and can even be absorbed through the skin. According to Health Policy Watch, “Human skin can absorb ‘forever chemicals.’” Alarmingly, these toxins were found in animals and human body parts, even in babies carried during pregnancy.
It is no wonder communities are concerned and are trying to stop the illegal dumping in their jurisdiction. The question, “Is your Illegal Dumping Program successful?”
An effective Illegal Dumping Program will reap the benefits of revenue but more importantly the crisis will become manageable and the unlawful dumping sites will disappear, making your community healthy and vibrant.
A Successful Illegal Dumping Program must have departments working together. Because success involves:
- Educating the community
- Social Media Programs
- Legislation on tough fines
- Enforcement program
- Staff resources
- Illegal Dumping Cameras – specifically designed to provide prosecutable evidence in dark remote areas where no electricity or internet is available
Make your Illegal Dumping Program triumph!
