Offenders of this variety should be ordered by the judge to give an apology on camera which will be shown on the Sunday evening news.This news segment could be called something like "Kamloops most Hienous criminals"or "Know your nieghbour." After the offender gives his/her apology to the community for whatever the offence was(littering ,drunkdriving, pedophiles,ect),then the judge can look at how remorseful the offender seems before sentencing.We the viewer can then tune in next week to see what the Judge gave them as punishment.Finally reality tv I would watch.Imagine seeing your nextdoor nieghbour on this segment one night.As big as Kamloops is ,it is not so large that you don't keep running into the same people.I would bet the people dumping trash are repeat offenders so it would be good for the public to be able to identify these people when they see them.

I'm kinder than Grouchy. I just think they should be required to clean up their mess completely and restore the area to what it was before they got there, then take their mess to the city dump and dispose of it properly. They should also have to pay all associated costs with cleaning up. This would include the cost of any trees or shrubs they would have to plant if they destroyed any. Their photos and names should also be published along with license plate numbers and vehicle descriptions.

For a second offence, they should have to do the above and pay a large fine; etc. with escalating penalties.

I agree with grouchy, publish a photo of them dumping their garbage as well as publish their names.

Actually, instead of giving someone a criminal record ( at least for the first offence ) publish their names and pictures in the paper once a week. For the second offence , we can all get together and have a good old fashioned Stoning .

Johnny; there is NOT A FREE dumpster at the far end of Westsyde road. That transfer station was for the sole use of the residents in the area who PAY for it in their taxes. Because of people from the city constantly filling it up AT THE EXPENSE OF THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA, it is now locked up.

I know people who live in the area and they were always furious at having people from the city use their transfer station and when it was full, people from the city would just dump their garbage on the ground around it.

USE THE CITY DUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would be better to place them on a chain gang cleaning up roadsides.

Fines are fine, but they shouldn't just be fined, they should be charged criminally with, well, illegal dumping, and at least be given community service (cleaning up) on top of the fine.

They is also a free dumpster at the far end of Westsyde Road.

dumping crap and garbage out there is just stupid. It would cost less in fuel and such by just taking it to the dump. Those garbage dumpers are just a bunch of loser idiots. I have seen first hand the crap they dump out there. It is digusting. Hip Hip hurray for the new catching system!!
