Littering
Dropping litter is a criminal offence. You can receive a £100 fixed penalty notice (FPN) for littering and up to £400 for waste offences.
Litter can be anything dropped or thrown. It includes things like:
- cigarette butts
- food
- drinks
- chewing gum
You can help keep our streets clean by:
- using the on-street litter bins
- using built-in ashtrays on litter bins to dispose of smoking-related litter
- using on-street recycling bins for waste such as newspapers, magazines and coffee cups
- putting your waste and recycling outside on the morning of your collection day
