Tackling illegal dumping

As an ex-Peel cop who never saw justice served (a.k.a. The Punishment fitting The Crime), I have an idea regarding all the illegal dumping we are seeing on all the beautiful landscapes of Caledon.

Anyone caught dumping any type of garbage in Caledon would be charged and released with these two conditions:

One, for one full year every time there is illegal dumping in Caledon they will be called to come and assist the Caledon Works Department to do the cleanup.

Two, for every time they fail to show when called to help, they will be charged a $1,000. fine as well as remaining on the call out list to assist for the entire year they were sentenced to.

Will this help?

Any deterrent more than the current slap on the wrist has to help if we want Caledon to continue to be the Country Jewel it is/was.
