“This is our city and we all have an obligation to keep it clean,” said Bridgeport Police Chief AJ Perez. “We have zero tolerance for anyone who thinks they can trash our city. If we catch people illegally dumping material, we can seize vehicles under state law and we will. Bridgeport has a very well-run transfer station that is easy to find and processes waste very conveniently. That is where debris should be dumped. Anybody who thinks they can dump on the cheap by just discarding materials on the side of the road in Bridgeport should know: illegal dumping will cost you!”
Bridgeport police are also reminding the public that they are offering a $200 reward for anyone who contributes evidence that leads to an arrest for illegal dumping.
