The New York City Department of Sanitation is increasing the number of illegal dumping cameras across the city.

There are currently 280 illegal dumping cameras installed citywide.
The department plans to add approximately 85 more cameras in the next fiscal year.
This would increase camera capacity by 30% compared to the current level.
The exact number of new cameras may change slightly after funding is finalized.
Installing new cameras involves a 4-7 month process of site surveys and utility permissions.

In terms of the funding we received from the city, from council members, and from a few state partners, We are looking to add approximately 85 more cameras over the next year.
