Littering is illegal in virtually every country in the world, as most nations have laws against dumping waste in public spaces, but enforcement and penalties vary greatly. Countries with particularly strict anti-littering laws and strong enforcement include Singapore, where littering is illegal and punishable by fines up to 1000 Singapore dollars for first offense and up to 5000 plus Corrective Work Order requiring offenders to clean public areas, Japan where littering is illegal and socially frowned upon with fines, Germany where littering can result in fines from 10 to hundreds of euros depending on state and type of litter, Australia where littering fines can be several hundred dollars, and United States where all states have littering laws with fines and possible community service. In many countries, littering from vehicles, dumping hazardous waste, and littering in national parks carries higher penalties. Singapore is most famous for strict anti-littering enforcement, including bans on chewing gum import to reduce litter. In European Union, littering is prohibited under waste laws. So littering is illegal in almost every country, including United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Singapore, Germany, France, and others, with Singapore having one of strictest enforcement.
