Litter in Clackmannanshire

£50.00 fixed penalty notices can be issued by Council officers to anyone dropping litter in the street.

Any unpaid fixed penalties will be pursued through the Court.

Litter, fly-tipping, graffiti and dog fouling are for many people the big environmental issues that affect their quality of life.

Clackmannanshire Council has a statutory duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to 'keep publicly managed areas clear of litter and refuse so far as practicable'.

The approach involves :

Cleaning our communities, with each area having their own cleaning schedule to ensure cleanliness standards are maintained. These are undertaken by our grounds maintenance and street care teams.
Monitoring litter trends using the Local Environmental Audit Management System (L.E.A.M.S). This is used to target resources, and to identify emerging problems.
Advising on litter related issues and other aspects of anti-social behaviour. A number of council departments including the community wardens and waste services are involved. The links outlined on this page may assist, or alternatively, contact us by using the details below.
