East St. Louis Cameras Crack Down on Dumping | St. Louis News

East St. Louis is going after illegal trash dumping with a tech-powered crackdown—14 new 24/7 surveillance cameras, funded by a federal grant, have already racked up over 30 tickets with fines up to $5,000. The city’s surveillance director, a native of East St. Louis, says this isn’t just about fines—it’s about reclaiming pride and sending a clear message: outsiders won’t be using the city as a dumping ground. With plans to add 14 more cameras and move them to new hotspots, East St. Louis is adapting its strategy to keep the streets clean and build a community that’s proud to call it home.
