Dublin-based TEC Security Services has installed TeleEye CCTV transmission systems to allow remote operators to view live images and record unlawful littering throughout 15 local authorities. In-built audio allows operators to give instructions to legitimate site users or issue warning messages. Says TeleEye: "Recycling points are often swamped with dumped boxes and bags used to hold the recycling. "If this happens at a TEC Security managed site, the offender is requested to remove the litter with an automated message stating, ‘This is the Council. We see that you are dumping your bags. Please put them back in the car.' "In most cases this is sufficient to get the offender to comply. Where individuals refuse to comply, their image and vehicle registration details are recorded, to establish their home address, and a fine is subsequently issued. A similar process works at sites where fly-tipping is a problem. "Offenders are notified that they are being recorded, given an on-the-spot fine of up to €150 for illegal refuse disposal and warned they could be prosecuted." The system is said to have reduced tipping and littering and saved councils millions of euros on clearing up refuse and effecting prosecutions. TEC Security CEO Stephen Tyrell said: "500 offenders have been caught in just three months, putting out a resolute message and practically stopping the problem in its tracks".
