If you don’t drop it, you won’t cop it!
You’ve probably seen Environmental Enforcement Officers in Maidstone town centre keeping an eye out for the minority of people who choose to drop litter. They’re part of our “zero tolerance” approach to litter — we know that the great majority of Maidstone’s residents wouldn’t dream of dropping litter, so we want to make sure that those who do know it isn’t acceptable and change their behaviour.
z If you don’t drop litter — you won’t get a fine.
z People caught dropping litter are given a £75 Fixed Penalty Notice — if they don’t pay this within 14 days, we take them to court. We do, of course, support people who are finding it difficult to pay.
z Our approach is working — so many people now put their rubbish in the bin instead of dropping it, that we’ve had to get bigger bins!
z The money from the litter fines goes towards things like providing the enforcement service, new bins, and litter education schemes in schools.
Litter Picks
People throwing rubbish out of their cars makes our borough look untidy and can be both dangerous and costly to clean up. When it comes to the fast moving roads in the borough, such as the A249, our street cleaning team has to work with Kent Highways to put in place lane closures at night so that they can safely get to the verges and central reservations, without causing too much traffic disruption.
You can help keep these litter picks to a minimum by keeping a carrier bag in your car for your rubbish and putting it in the bin when you get home.
Keeping Maidstone clean
£1.5 million of taxpayers’ money is spent every year on keeping the borough tidy. This covers emptying bins, removing fly-tipping and cleaning the
streets — whether manually or using machines. It also pays for bins and all of the street cleaning equipment.
