Report littering from vehicles

If you see someone littering from a vehicle, you can report it online.

Try to include as much information as possible, for example:

• description of the items that thrown from the vehicle
• photographic or video evidence of the offence
• location of the littering (you can plot this on a map)
• registration details of the vehicle
• time and date of the offence

We accept files up to 500MB in size.

If you're the registered keeper, we can issue you with a penalty notice if litter is thrown out of your vehicle by anyone inside.

You will have to pay the penalty notice unless you're able to prove that either:

• the vehicle was kept by another person at the time
• it was someone else that threw the litter from the vehicle (you will need to provide their identity)

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy when processing data. We adhere to strict data protection regulations, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The power to enforce a penalty notice for littering from vehicles is set out in the Littering from Vehicles Outside London (Keepers: Civil Penalties) Regulations 2018.
