In the last 10 weeks alone, the City Sanitation Department has installed 122 cameras across the five boroughs to catch illegal dumpers in the act.
The new recording equipment has paid immediate—and lucrative—dividends, according to the agency:
- Impounds are up 282 percent year-to-date.
- Those frightening $4,000 summonses are up 318 percent.
Lesson: Don’t dump on NY.
