PalmettoPride Trash Fax - Litter Busters Hotline


Since 2003, 38,000 people have taken a stand against litter and called the Litter Busters Hotline. Here is how it works:

If you see someone littering from a vehicle or trash blows off the back of a truck bed, call 1-877-7-LITTER or #LB from your Alltel and AT&T phones. Ask for the Litter Busters Hotline. Give the operator the license tag, make and color of vehicle, time and location of the incident. If you know what the littered item was, you can give the operator that information as well. You do not have to give your name.

The Litter Busters Hotline operator will submit the information to the SC Department of Public Safety. SCDPS will mail a courtesy letter to the owner of the vehicle that explains the SC litter laws and the amount of the fines one could receive if ticketed.

And that is how it works! Litter Busters Hotline is brought to you by PalmettoPride, SC Department of Natural Resources and the SC Department of Public Safety.
