Avoid getting caught on camera dumping trash illegally! The city’s sanitation department issued a warning to the public, highlighting the prevalence of surveillance footage catching offenders in the act.

In a humorous nod to a viral incident where a couple was caught on “kiss cam” at a concert, the department shared a social media post mocking individuals who dump waste unlawfully, emphasizing that cameras are everywhere. The post included images of surveillance footage showing illegal trash disposal and warned that violators face hefty fines—at least $4,000—and vehicle impoundment.

The department playfully referenced a recent scandal involving a CEO caught on “kiss cam,” with photos pairing dirty deeds with the celebrity incident.

The warning underscores that illegal dumping, whether by vehicle or on foot, is a punishable offense within city limits. The department has a network of approximately 300 cameras monitoring known hotspots to catch culprits, who are often identified through social media posts showing their infractions.

City officials highlight that those caught dumping trash illegally will face fines and vehicle impoundments, with a widespread surveillance system in place.

Officials have issued around 300 citations last year for illegal dumping. The department’s social media pages frequently post images of offenders as a deterrent, warning that illegal disposal will be monitored and penalized.

City authorities remind that illegal dumping is aggressively enforced, with a network of cameras ensuring compliance.

Recently, two individuals—CEO Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot—were caught on video at a concert near Boston, trying to conceal their faces while on a “kiss cam,” amid speculation of workplace affairs. The incident prompted the company to launch an official investigation into the allegations.
