Information is Power
This technology is combined with ANPR to detect the licence plates of fly-tipping perpetrators, providing data evidence and therefore power back to communities to combat the issue and enforce policies through a fining process. By using the licence plate data, along with the visual verification from the system, you can identify the individual or organisation responsible for the dumping. Empowered with Evidence and data you can now use the DVLA system to issue fines creating a revenue and future deterrent to repeat fly-tipping.
Deployment Options For WasteWatch Cam
Rapid Deployment Towers
WasteWatch cam is fully integrated with rapid deployment tower facilitating a portable fly tipping prevention system. Furthermore, this allows the system to run in rural areas without access to mains power, as well as power options such as solar being available which help extent the systems operation time without battery replacement or recharging.
Enhance Existing CCTV
WasteWatch can also be added to existing CCTV infrastructure. There may be a need for some additional technology to be added to facilitate WasteWatch however, were possible we will attempt to deliver the solution through existing CCTV infrastructure, reducing the need for any major hardware investment.
WasteWatch Cam – Use Cases?
Overflow at Recycling Points
Fly-tipping is a serious environmental problem that affects many recycling points across the UK. According to the latest government statistics, there were 1.13 million fly-tipping incidents in England in 2020/21, an increase of 16% from the previous year1. Many people who want to dispose of their waste responsibly find that the recycling bins are full or overflowing, and they end up adding to the pile or dumping their waste elsewhere. This is not only illegal, but also harmful to the environment and the community.
Supporting Local Councils
Councils often face challenges in enforcing policies against fly-tipping or littering due to insufficient information. WasteWatch is a system that collects all the relevant data in one place, making it easier to issue fines and deter future offenders. It also generates income to support the costs of cleaning up of the space.
Littering On Highways
WasteWatch can be strategically positioned near entry and exit ramps of motorways to effectively monitor vehicles. This solution is adept at detecting instances where vehicles discard waste onto the motorway while entering or exiting. WasteWatch automatically identifies such occurrences and accurately pinpoints the responsible vehicle. With access to DVLA information, fines can be promptly issued
Identify Criminal Organisations
Fly-tipping poses a significant environmental threat and is frequently associated with organized crime. Criminal groups establish fraudulent businesses to collect waste from unsuspecting clients, subsequently illegally dumping it on land or in water to evade disposal fees and taxes. Despite government and Environment Agency efforts to combat these offenders, gathering evidence and prosecuting them remains challenging. WasteWatch plays a vital role in identifying these organizations, providing crucial support in the fight against environmental crime
Car Parks
Car parks, whether affiliated with supermarkets, high streets, shopping centres, or food venues, frequently suffer from litter and waste accumulation. Vehicles often dispose of waste on-site or underneath them before departing, leaving a burden for private businesses or councils to clean up, funded by taxpayers. WasteWatch offers a swift solution by deploying monitoring systems in car park zones to detect and identify littering behavioors. With its capabilities, WasteWatch aids in enforcing fines and penalties for offenders, alleviating the burden on businesses and taxpayers alike.
