Pittsburg City Council takes major step in combating illegal dumping

by The 100 Companies

Under the adopted ordinance, fines for illegal dumping will be increased to $1,000 per incident – the maximum that’s allowed by the state – and the city will maintain the authority to hold the owner and/or operator of a vehicle used in the commitment of illegal dumping accountable for citations and the cost of cleanup.

The city will utilize its vast network of automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras that can capture the license plate of a vehicle used to illegally dump debris.

In cases of ongoing dumping, the cost of abatement of a property could be charged to the property owner.
