The City of Camden spends more than $4 million a year cleaning up after illegal dumpers.
Some are so bold, they’ve carved out specific dumping grounds. There’s a place where mountains of old Christmas trees pile up. Other places have tons of kitchen and bathroom appliances or accumulate debris from housing construction and other garbage sources.
Camdenites have been fed up for a while. They see it as a combination of greed from the haulers that send their trash there and a form of urban insult.
Earth Day 2021: N.J. city fights illegal dumping with epic recycled outdoor art display.
Updated 6:56 AM;
A series of environmentally-conscious public art displays officially open Thursday on Camden, timed to coincide with Earth Day 2021.
Instillations include a giant black cat made of recycled car hoods, a turntable created with plastic bottles and face masks and a 17-foot-tall robot with a heart that beats for his planet.
Those and more are available to peruse throughout various Camden neighborhoods starting today after a year-long delay due to COVID-19.
The artwork, which is made from recycled materials, looks to spotlight the issue of illegal dumping. It’s a problem that costs taxpayers in the Camden County municipality more than $4 million a year, according to the city.
