Your efforts address the resulting problem but not the cause. Curious on your thoughts about what the state or municipalities can do to remedy the problem of dumping other than surveillance and stiffer penalties, if there is anything. Whatever the fines are now they don't seem to be a deterrent as it appears from your footage to be absolutely out of control! You're fighting a good fight my friend, just wondering if there's a different way of attacking the problem. Wonder what would happen if people were paid money to return tires like soda bottles were years ago.

Again thanks for your vigilance helping out the environment!
