Lawmakers and officials in Camden , NJ, are cracking down on illegal dumping with a hefty fine of up to $10,000
Lawmakers and city leaders detailed their continued efforts to crack down on illegal dumping in Camden, New Jersey. Camden Mayor Victor Carstarphen, Congressman Donald Norcross , Camden County Police Chief Gabriel Rodriguez and others gathered at the Camden County Police Administration Building in Camden Monday morning. They discussed the impact federal funds have had on their ability to arrest and fine illegal dumpers in the city and impound their vehicles.
Mayor Carstarphen also announced a new ordinance – passed by Camden City Council back on June 11 -- that will reward $500 to $1000 to anyone who can provide evidence to police that leads to the arrest of an illegal dumper. "Illegal dumping in Camden will not be tolerated,” Mayor Carstarphen said. “We are grateful to Congressman Norcross for fighting for federal funding used to purchase this essential crime fighting equipment. The cameras have been incredibly helpful with deterring dumping while providing the evidence needed to prosecute those who are caught in the act.
