Hidden cameras to monitor illegal dumping hotspots

Hidden CCTV cameras will continue to be used at illegal dumping hotspots in Co Kerry this year.

However, people who dump in locations not covered by cameras are reportedly “getting astute” and most no longer leave clues to their identity, according to Kerry County Council.

When litter wardens follow up on reports of rubbish being dropped off on roadsides and ditches, they go through the waste item by item, hoping to find some document that might lead them to the culprits.
