Dunno if it’s a myth but I was told a while back that McD litter culprits have been prosecuted cos they’d left receipt in dumped bag which has time of purchase and on camera if been via drive thru so reg picked up. Now I’ve typed it sounds unlikely

This guy was abit larger scale:

 

Dumping 'made businessman millions'

A businessman who ran one of the biggest illegal waste dumps ever found in north Wales netted millions of pounds...

 

Im sure similar is still happening all over on many  farms but smaller scale

When I was a student I worked as a street sweeper. Some of the guys on the teams used to chuck their lunch waste out the trucks..  So not sure making kids litter pick would help. Some people are just wnkwrs

They were just future-proofing their jobs Ben.

In and around Manchester it's not unusual to see folks, of all ages and demographics, just drop their litter on the floor when there is bin a dozen feet away. Just totally shamelessly. 

 

In an attempt to stop drunks urinating in the street/shop doorways etc some police forces shame then by providing a bucket of water and a mop, making culprits clean up after themselves in front of everyone else. I often wonder if police offices and local council wardens (or whatever they're called) were proactive with culprits it would make any difference. Instead of on the spot fines as some LAs do now, a couple of days of public litter-picking as punishment.

 

Maybe a couple of saturdays in the town centre, with loads of publicity as to why these offenders are doing what they are doing, would make them think twice.

Stocks? 

 

I was thinking more the gibbet, but I didn't want anyone thinking that I was too over the top.
