A recent thread in the GD made me think of posting this.  I really notice all of the trash around SC and try to make it a point to call if I ever witness anyone littering.  I figured I pass this on.
 


Litter Busters Hotline - Litter Reports Throughout South Carolina

If you have a cell phone, you can now report litter incidents in real time with Litter Busters, a toll-free litter hotline from PalmettoPride, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the state Department of Public Safety (DPS).

The next time you see someone unlawfully discarding trash, litter or debris, call the Litter Buster's Hotline at 1-877-7-Litter, which rings directly into the DNR statewide radio dispatch headquarters in Columbia. Be prepared to give the DNR dispatcher as much detailed information as possible; such as, a vehicle tag number or boat registration number, a general description of the vehicle or boat and the location and nature of the littering violation. NEW: Alltel and Cingular wireless customers can now use # LB or # 52 when reporting a litter offender in South Carolina.

After DPS matches the reported tag number to the registered owner of the boat or vehicle, PalmettoPride will then send a letter to the owner stating that someone, in his or her vehicle or boat, was observed littering. The letter's recipient will be given a courtesy notice and told that a littering conviction could result in fines of between $200 and $1000. If the littering offense is prosecutable, law enforcement will handle the investigation. Like DNR's Operation Game Thief reporting program, rewards will be applicable to all incidents that result in a conviction.

What is it that Mecklenburg Co (NC) does if you call in a litterer? Sends them a notice and a trash bag?

One thing that bugs me is how bad Exit 49 NB on 85 is as far as cig. butts all over the side of the road...
