Helpful Tips on How to Use the Litter Hotline
To report a litterer, you must have the TN license plate number of the vehicle that was in violation.
The litterer does not receive a fine when you report them. Instead, they receive a friendly reminder letter that includes information about how to contain their litter and informs them that litterers
can be fined up to $2,500
if they are caught by the State Patrol.
