Don’t Dump Illegally in Gardner. The C.A.T. will get you!
Gardner MA “Cameras Against Trash” Program to Expand with Dumping Hotline
The program which we are calling “Cameras Against Trash” began under the direction of the Gardner Health Department in 2022 and according to Director of Public Health Lauren Saunders “was mostly a year of trial and error…..We have some ideas of hot spots in the City where we would like to set it up this spring…We will also work with some landlords that have expressed interest in catching illegal dumping on their properties in the past.”
Illegal Dumping Hotline
“In addition we are working on rolling out an illegal dumping hotline. Once this is up and running we will have a phone number to share with residents that they can call if they witness illegal dumping in the City. We are hoping this will also be a deterrent for illegal dumping. Once our phone lines are officially changed over we should be able to roll out this program.”
A 3 Prong Goal
“Overall our goal is to discourage littering and dumping through camera use, the hotline, and enforcing the new litter ordinance.” stated Lauren Saunders.
