New Cameras Help Tackle Illegal Dumping at Local Recycling Site in Kinsman Township, OH

The township was able to purchase the equipment thanks to grant funding from the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District.

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): A grant is helping Kinsman Township tackle illegal dumping at its recycling bins. The township has added a few new surveillance cameras to the recycling area near the township garage off State Route 87. It already had a few cameras, but the new ones have the technology to capture license plates.

The township was able to purchase the equipment thanks to grant funding from the Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District. Trustee Greg Leonhard says illegal dumping in the recycling area has been an ongoing problem since the recycling bins were installed.

“We really didn’t want to take ’em out, so having the additional cameras will – we want to send a message up front too that don’t do it because you’re gonna be on camera,’ said Leonhard.
