The Los Angeles City Council voted Aug. 25 to crack down on illegal dumping in the city, an issue that has been brewing over the last few years.
Under the measure, the city will reconvene an interdepartmental group that will focus on targeting dumping after a report from the Los Angeles Controller’s office in March found that illegal dumping of trash and hazardous waste in the city increased 450 percent from 2016 to 2020.
