Yonkers Insider: **PRESS RELEASE**WESTCHESTER WATCH: NEW LAW IMPOSES STRICTER PENALTIES ON ILLEGAL DUMPING IN PARKS.

 


Westchester County, NY — During its fourteenth meeting of the year, the Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a local law that enforces stricter penalties for unauthorized dumping on County-owned property. This legislation ensures that waste is disposed of properly, safeguarding the County’s beautiful green spaces and keeping parks clean and safe for all residents to enjoy.

 

Parks & Environment Chair David Tubiolo (Yonkers, Mt. Vernon) said, "Parks are for people, not to be used as a landfill. Our residents deserve the right to have a clean and safe green space. With this new law, offending parties with a waste removal license would be referred to the Solid Waste Commission for licensure revocation if they do not comply with County regulations on waste disposal, especially if they try to use our parks as a dumpster. Families should not have to see piles of tires, stacks of sheetrock, or disposed mattresses when trying to enjoy time in our parks. Hopefully, these new measures serve as a deterrent as we strive to protect our environment and preserve quality of life."

 

Majority Leader Tyrae Woodson-Samuels (Mount Vernon) said, “We had a similar experience at Memorial Field before the County stepped in, where waste was being dumped illegally. This great, common-sense piece of Legislation is greatly needed and can serve as a template for local municipalities. I’m more than happy to support it.”
