The City of Jacksonville has unveiled a suite of new equipment and resources to accelerate the City of Jacksonville’s fight against litter and illegal dumping, backed by $400,000 in City Council-approved funding. The debut included ATVs, trailers, surveillance cameras, and a newly wrapped volunteer supply trailer, all part of the citywide Keep Jax Cute, Don’t Pollute initiative.
The new equipment will expand the reach and efficiency of City cleanup crews, allowing teams to cover larger geographic areas more safely. Surveillance cameras will be deployed at locations across Duval County to document illegal dumping and support enforcement efforts through JSO’s Solid Waste Division. Additional funding will also support litter control teams and private contractors for after-hours and weekend cleanups.
The funding also provides gloves and supplies to assist volunteers participating in Keep Jacksonville Beautiful and Keep Jax Cute, Don’t Pollute events. A newly wrapped trailer stocked with those supplies will be deployed at community cleanups and other anti-litter projects across the city.
