The City of Springfield going after illegal dumpers in the city. The city has been at it since back in 2014 when more and more residents began complaining of people running into certain neighborhoods and dumping not only trash, but beds and other items as well. Cameras were installed to identify, find and prosecute those who are violating the quality of life of residents. The Mayor says since October of last year, people were cited in seven different cases. One man was cited three separate times for illegal dumping.
Mayor Sarno stated, “We are going to remain vigilant to ensure everyone understands illegal dumping will not be tolerated in the City of Springfield. We are continuing to expand areas and the violators should be aware we will catch up with you, so think twice. This program will remain a priority for my administration and we will provide the necessary resources to ensure all violators are prosecuted.”
