Every piece of litter has a cost: someone has to clean it up, someone has to pay for it and somewhere downstream, it impacts communities, wildlife, drainage systems and public perception.
CGN 09 explores the legal and operational framework surrounding littering and fly-tipping in England and Wales, including the legislation commonly used by councils and enforcement officers, the difference between littering and fly-tipping, Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), enforcement powers and the wider practical implications for businesses, local authorities and the public.
Importantly, this guidance note is intended to inform rather than instruct. As with all CGNs, I have aimed to keep the document grounded in publicly available legislation, guidance and operational practice while remaining accessible to everyday readers.

TCGN Disclaimer & Community Review
As with all documents within the CGN (Circular Guidance Note) series, every effort has been made to ensure the information provided is factual, practical, and helpful at the time of writing however, legislation changes, guidance evolves, and occasionally mistakes happen. If you spot anything within this CGN that is incorrect, misleading, outdated or could be better explained, please leave a comment below together with supporting information or clarification. Following review and verification, corrections or revisions will be made where appropriate and contributors will happily be credited for their input should they wish. The aim of the CGN series is not simply to publish information but to build a growing, reliable, real-world resource library for everyone involved in waste, recycling, compliance and circular economy discussions.I have always believed that in waste management, getting it right matters more than pretending to already know everything.
