San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan highlighted that despite the city’s intensifying efforts to combat blight, this has not effectively reduced illegal dumping, which increased by 21% last year.
Ken Brennan emphasized the frustration of residents, stating that millions are wasted on cleanups without adequate accountability for those committing illegal dumping.
San Jose’s multifaceted strategy of eradication, education, and enforcement is recognized as essential, yet it has not been successfully executed to deter illegal dumping adequately.
Despite organized cleanup efforts resulting in the collection of over 2.9 million pounds of trash, the effectiveness in curtailing illegal dumping remains severely challenged by inadequate enforcement.
