Seven people have been fined for dumping waste or littering on the streets of Bury in August.
They were issued with fixed penalty notices: £75 for littering and £400 for littering.
The crimes took place in Ferngrove, Hawkes Close, Denton Street, Ormrod Street, Spring Street and two incidents in Broad Oak Lane.
Since 2021, the council has issued 106 fines for littering, 78 for littering and three people have been given warnings for failing to comply with the household code. It has also launched 22 prosecutions in that time, with more to come next month.
All fines issued in August were paid within seven days.
Councillor Alan Quinn, cabinet member for environment, climate change and operations, said: “Everyone hates litter and landfill. It ruins our environment and costs local taxpayers money to clean up.”
“We will continue to take action against those who dump litter on our streets and green spaces. If anyone has information about offences or the perpetrators, please contact the council.”
