For Bucks Sake

Bucks Council is one of the first councils to use new powers of higher fines (up to £500) for littering. They’ve also introduced a quicker route to catching and punishing the culprits, using photographic evidence submitted by the public.

People are invited to upload dashcam footage and photos of littering to a new webpage. Car registration details will enable the Waste Enforcement Team to trace and prosecute culprits through the civil process, meaning it will be the vehicle owner who will be liable, whether they threw the litter or not. The reporting process will be confidential.

Stop, hang up, call 159
