Cases of high-rise littering increasing despite education efforts
The common items that are thrown are cigarette butts, tissue paper and fruit seeds. More extreme litter would be sanitary pads, wound dressings and bags of urine or faeces.
The method that Town Councils use most to combat the problem of high-rise littering is to distribute flyers and pamphlets to urge residents not to litter.
A spokesman from Bishan-Toa Payoh Town Council told TODAY: “The Town Council will send reminder notices to the residents to refrain from such anti-social behaviour.
"Our approach is to advise and remind them, and this has reduced the high-rise littering cases. Enforcement action is used a last resort.”
