The proposal includes vans fitted with cameras recording at common recycling areas.
A Westmeath councillor has proposed an accelerated roll out of CCTV like that in speeding vans to combat illegal dumping.
Labour Councillor for Kinnegad Denis Leonard brought forward the motion at a recent municipal district meeting.
It would include vans fitted with CCTV cameras on a rotating basis recording at recycling areas across Mullingar and Kinnegad.
The motion also included proposed follow up prosecutions alongside name and shame adverts.
Councillor Leonard says money spent on recycling could be pumped back into the community:
