Well, you have to catch people dumping their trash to punish them. Most often, you’ll only see the aftermath of discarded packaging and sometimes whole grills.

Back in the 60s and 70s, it was very common to see anti-littering ads on TV, paid for by the government. They were ubiquitous, you would see them on TV every day.
The result was that young people grew up with the idea of littering being absolutely unthinkable. I remember seeing friends scold their parents for littering. Today, those ads don’t exist, and I often see young people littering.
If the government went back to encouraging people to respect their community and the environment, it would solve most of the problem without having to pass laws, cite people, arrest people, etc.
