Enforcing against littering and dog fouling
A team of enforcement officers work on our behalf to tackle littering and dog fouling.
How much are the fines?
- For littering (including throwing litter from a car) the fine is £150
- For dog fouling the fine is £100
All fixed penalty notices have to be paid within 14 days.
If you get a fixed penalty notice for littering and you pay within 10 days, you only have to pay £80.
If you don't pay, you might have to go to court. The biggest fine that the court can give is £2,500.
