I remember years ago when the area around a local shop suffered the scattered litter from all the schollkids that bought their bizarre foodstuffs from. The shopkeeper started writing their names on each packet sold. Problem solved.
 
We have endless problems with atrocious parking outside my kids' school. I've leaned on the local council to tell me why they can't just put up CCTV cameras and fine the crap out of people from the comfort of their desks. Apparently it's not enough; the deed has to be seen in person by a suitably empowered enforcing individual (of which there aren't enough)

Surely if it can be done for littering it can be done for other offences..

Paking on Zigzags and even seen across a dropped kerb where the lollypop lady does her crossing.

I don't want to live in a world where my every minute is monitored on CCTV . . . . .

One of the nicer 'busybodies' back in t'village solved the infants school parking problem almost single handedly. She posted up on the local FB page about how the markings outside the school are for the safety of the children, young children, & how ignoring those markings can put those children in danger. Putting children wilfully into danger is child abuse isn't it? This had 2x main effects, 1, it shamed a few into not parking there & 2, it got the yummy mummy's all fired up & working together on a single cause. Eventually t'village warden (FLUB) was trained up to act as an observer & 'educate' those who still persisted in putting the childrens lives in danger. It's not a problem these days, the occasional child abuser is swiftly dealt with by the yummy mummy's & the occasional wagging of the finger from t'warden.
 
I've started doing exactly that, pointing out to plonkers that it's for the safety of the kids that we need good visibility around the school. You wouldn't believe the abuse that comes back..
Print out a carefully worded 'flyer' pointing out that the markings are for the safety of the children & NOT for your convenience, then slip this under the wiper blades of any offender. On the basis that this can turn violent, get the sweetest & oldest of your 'busybody' grannies to perform this task.
 
I remember a while back that, there was talk of putting the car's registration number on the food packaging to stop it being discarded like that.
 
Faced with fines the owner of a drive through take away used a number plate recognition camera to obtain the car's reg number.

The number was then printed or hand written on the package.

Any instances of littering and the car number involved was put into the NPR system as a "do not serve" flag,

I've heard this said before. Number plates should be printed on all packaging this way only the disruptive will have to make an effort to dispose of their rubbish illegally

What happens when you have placed this identifiable rubbish in your own bin at home, and then the binmen spill it all over the road (as they often do) when collecting it?

Few and far between. Nothing is perfect there is never one solution fits all.
 
The obvious thing is for parental guidance from the start...

Making them put their sweet wrappers in their pockets until a bin is found...

And taking them on park/beach clean-ups is another good eye opener...

Sadly there are too many parents who have been brought up the wrong way themselves and thus pass on filthy habits!

It's too late for some. I've seen a 70 odd year old chuck his rubbish before. What do you say to his mother if she's still around?
