Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council – Littering Campaign

Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council are working with council’s county wide on a campaign to reduce littering. 

Each of the individual councils faces many challenges cleansing their individual boroughs or districts. Sweet and crisp wrappers, cigarettes, plastic bottles and cigarette butts and discarded chewing gum which is also classed as litter are the most common items, all of which can be easily put in a bin or taken home.

A key aim of the campaign is to highlight to residents on how they can report litter offenders which can incur a £400 fine.

Dropping litter, including from any vehicle, is an offence. A fine (fixed penalty notice or FPN) can be issued to the person dropping the litter. The fine will be issued by the individual council’s Clean Neighbourhoods Team.

To report dropped litter, anyone can complete a reporting form here
