How about putting some video cameras on the sites?

Post some trail cameras and bust some offenders. When the fines start rolling it'll stop. The no dumping signs are a joke.
What's even more pathetic is the tree services dumping all the chips are charging their customers as part of their service! As it's paid for by the customer, why even do it?

Install video cameras and when you catch the people dumping give them hefty fines in the $1000+ range (I would say $5000 or more) in addition to making them clean up their dumped items and do community service cleaning up others dumped items. Use that money for the clean up and for more cameras.

Interesting: I'd noticed the piles of woodchips as well as the "State Property" signs, and thought that was to stop me from nabbing a bag or two of woodchips for my yard.
