A hard hitting campaign to target fly tippers and people who drop litter in North Lanarkshire is running on buses, signs and billboards.

The campaign asks people to do the right thing, put litter in a bin or take it home and ‘don’t be a tosser’ by dropping litter.

It supports the message used by charity Keep Britain Tidy in their UK–wide initiative to tackle the problem of roadside litter

The North Lanarkshire adverts also state that fly tipping is a criminal offence with a penalty of £200, while anyone caught littering faces an on-the-spot fine of £80.

We are asking residents to report anyone they see fly tipping, helping us identify those responsible by providing vital information including vehicle registration numbers and descriptions of individuals involved.

You can report fly tipping online or by calling Northline on 01698 403110.

In support of the public campaign, we have invested in new fixed and mobile CCTV cameras which will be deployed to identify fly tippers.
