First-time littering offenders who throw larger items such as plastic bags, food wrappers, and drink cups would be issued a fine which can go up to $ 1,000 or a Corrective Work Order (CWO) of up to 12 hours, or both.

1)Singapore littering penalties
Singapore spend millions of dollars each year to clean up littered roadways, parks, and coastal areas. In addition to the direct cost of litter removal, litter also harms the environment, property values, and other economic activities. The most common types of litter are food packaging, bottles, cans, plastic bags, paper and tobacco products. Singapore can discourage littering through a variety of methods, one of which is to create and enforce criminal penalties that punish unwanted behavior.
