A ticket issued for environmental offences, like littering, fly-tipping, or leaving bins on the street, is known as a fixed penalty notice (FPN), which are effectively ‘fines’.
You usually have to pay the penalty within 14 days. Follow the instructions on your notice. You might be prosecuted and have to pay more if you do not pay your penalty on time.

What happens next
You will see a confirmation on screen when you pay your fixed penalty notice. You may want to save or print it for your records.
Once the FPN has been paid, the case will be closed. If you commit the same offence again, you may face court action.
This form should take approximately five minutes to complete.
