North Lincolnshire Council has imposed fines for litter offences in Brigg and Broughton and as well as other places across the district.
The unitary authority says enforcement officers handed out 251 fixed penalty notices for dropped litter in August and September 2021. Fines are £150 - reduced to £100 if paid within 28 days.
"While the majority of the fines were issued in Scunthorpe, litter louts in Ashby, Brigg, Broughton, Barton, Bottesford, Keadby and Wroot were also targeted," the council revealed.
Coun Rob Waltham (Brigg & Wolds Ward), the Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “While I applaud the work of our enforcement officers in helping keep our communities clean, the number of people dropping litter on the street is just not acceptable.
“We are determined to clean up North Lincolnshire and will keep on fining litter louts until we do.”
North Lincolnshire Council, in partnership with LA Support, has a zero tolerance policy to litter and uses a wide range of powers to target environmental crime.
Incidents includes dog fouling, throwing rubbish from cars and dropping cigarette ends.
The council is urging people who see others dropping or dumping litter to provide photos or video footage and upload it to the authority's website "where we can use it to pursue the offender."
