The L.A. City Council passed two motions to address illegal dumping on the streets and in vacant lots. One measure would add 61 staff positions to the Bureau of Sanitation. The other includes fines and cameras.
The Los Angeles City Council passed two motions Wednesday to address illegal dumping on the streets and in vacant lots of trash and junk like appliances, furniture, tires and other waste.
Councilmembers Kevin de León and Paul Koretz were behind the combined effort, each authoring one of the two items. One measure would add 61 staff positions to the Bureau of Sanitation. The other would bring together a group of city departments to come up with a plan to curb illegal dumping with deterrents like fines and cameras, including so-called “dummy cameras,” to scare off would-be dumpers.
“We live in a very trashy city,” de León, a candidate for mayor, said at Wednesday’s council meeting. “In terms of a large metropolitan city, we are the trashiest largest city in America.”
