Littering North Carolina roadways is illegal and can result in fines for those that commit the offense. Some litterbugs simply need to be informed and reminded that littering – whether deliberate or unintentional – can end with a personal commitment to stop.





The N.C Department of Transportation’s Swat-A-Litterbug Program encourages the public to report people who litter in an effort to help make North Carolina roadways cleaner. The program provides every indivdual an opportunity to be an active participant in reducing litter on North Carolina roadways.





The public can report those who litter to NCDOT’s Litter Management Section by filling out an online form or calling NCDOT Litter Management at 1-800-331-5864.
