Over £1,000 of litter fines have been issued in two days - one for a man spitting a seed onto the street - as part of a Gravesham Borough Council crackdown.
In the first two days of litter enforcement by the council's new contractors, Kingdom, 15 fines for a total of £1,125 have been issued.
On Wednesday morning officers issued the first fine within a few paces of the Civic Centre entrance.
They caught a woman discarding a cigarette end in Community Square – just yards from two bins with ashtrays.
She was given a £75 fixed penalty notice.
Several other smokers are among the others fined so far.
