CCTV camera, team of NEA officers boost anti-littering efforts at this 'cleanliness hotspot'

National Environment Agency officers caught a man vaping outside of Causeway Point in Woodlands on May 3, 2024, during an enforcement blitz against littering. SINGAPORE: At a busy walkway outside Causeway Point mall in Woodlands, pedestrians and delivery riders zip past a closed-circuit camera television camera that was installed to catch litterbugs.

Causeway Point was among the littering hotspots targeted in an enforcement blitz across Singapore. Over the weekend, a total of 125 people were caught for public health offences, said NEA.A mobile CCTV camera deployed by the National Environment Agency outside of Causeway Point in Woodlands and a sign recording the number of people fined for littering there.

Although efforts to educate people against littering have generally paid off, Senior Parliament Secretary for Sustainability and the Environment Baey Yam Keng said earlier this year that authorities continue to observe"some persistent issues that require us to go beyond just public education".

At one area near a pedestrian walkway, officers did not catch anyone in the act of littering – partly because the earlier rain had dissuaded people from gathering in the area.Cigarette butts and plastic wrappers were spotted between the folds of leaves in flower hedges. There were satay sticks stuck beneath plants, and an empty drink can lay on the ledge beside a walkway.

"One of the things that we've been seeing a lot of the members of public would use open spaces to sit down and chit chat with their friends ... they will have their own meals," he said.
