Winning the war on litterbugs!! We had another record month with over 363 'swats' for the month of May. Keep up the great work!!

Reporting a litterbug is easy. You can report it by phone or online. All you need to provide is the tag number, date, time, location and a brief description of what type littering occurred (cigarette butt, fast food wrappers, construction material, etc.) We'll take it from there.

The owner of the vehicle is sent a letter from Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful explaining why litter is illegal, creates a safety issue, is extremely unsightly and is very expensive to get rid of. We'll send them a litterbag for their vehicle along with educational materials to motivate them to STOP littering. Who knows, they may become a Swat-A-Litterbug themselves.

To report a litterbug by telephone or to request a supply of Swat-A-Litterbug report cards, call 704-432-1772. To report a litterbug online, click on "Lenny" the litterbug.
