Deterrence:
Fly tipping can be a costly problem for local authorities and can also harm the environment and local communities. However, if people know that they are being monitored, they may think twice before dumping waste illegally. The presence of cameras can serve as a deterrent to potential fly tippers and reduce the incidence of illegal dumping.
Evidence:
Cameras can provide clear evidence of fly tipping activities. With video footage, authorities can more easily identify and prosecute offenders. This can lead to fines, penalties, or even criminal charges against those responsible for illegal dumping. The availability of evidence can also act as a deterrent to others who may consider fly tipping in the future.
Cost-effective:
Monitoring fly tipping with cameras can be a cost-effective solution for local authorities. Compared to traditional methods of monitoring, such as increased patrols or deploying personnel, cameras can cover a wider area and operate 24/7. This can reduce the cost of monitoring while increasing the chances of catching fly tippers in the act.
