Background
Littering is illegal in the UK. The fine for littering in many areas is £400 (£200 if paid within 10 days). If the fine isn’t paid within 14 days, individuals that
litter could face going to court and paying up to £2500.
Unfortunately, it is hard to enforce, and many people continue to litter without facing said fines. I would like something to be done to prevent this crime, and to protect our environment.
