More than 1,700 people have paid £82,260 for fly-tipping and littering in Gloucester.
Council leader Richard Cook said there were two different methods of tackling the issue.
"We have the 3GS team who issue fixed penalty notices to people who drop litter but they also do some educational work to let people know there is a greener alternative than just dropping rubbish in the street," he said. In 2021, a total of 966 fixed penalty notices were issued, paying £51,985 in fines, while so far this year 740 people have been caught littering and £31,275 has been paid in fines.They recently secured six extra CCTV cameras to act as a deterrent in hotspot areas.
In addition, the team carries out preventative engagement work and has been working with around 2,000 households to let them know more about recycling.
