News, updates and more from NYC Council Member Rafael Salamanca, Jr.

NY1:15 new illegal dumping cameras to be installed in South Bronx “Illegal dumping in the South Bronx and in my district has been an issue for decades,” Salamanca said. Salamanca said the worst dumping takes place in the more industrial parts of his district, which includes Hunts Point and Point Morris. But mentioned that residential areas get hit too by what he referred to as bad actors. “It’s unfortunate that some of these businesses prefer not to pay out of pocket and have their garbage thrown away by sanitation waste companies as is required by law,” Salamanca said. Just streets away from where the news conference was held, there was clear evidence of illegal dumping, furniture and bags of miscellaneous trash items.

News12 The Bronx: DSNY, elected officials using surveillance to crack down on illegal dumping “We have many bad actors,” said Salamanca. “Not just in this community, but that come from outside communities to come and illegally dump in our communities.” The funds will cover personnel expenses to monitor and investigate these incidents. DSNY says summonses for illegal dumping have doubled since last year, with the number of impounded vehicles nearly tripling.
