It’s a scam, private company keep 70% of every fine to pay wages instead it going to the council or the environment. They harass you around areas where there are no bins so they can fine more people.... See more

Hope they get shut down!!!

Worthless azzholes. This guy grabbed open my door as i was going inside MY HOME, I asked him what he wanted as i thought he needed something and he starts going off about a cigarette. I was ON THE PHONE and IN MY HOME and he kept trying to get me to go outside. He held the door open so I couldn't just leave and in the end I just gave him my details cus it seemed like if i walked away he would follow me inside, I've been attacked and have a disability and severe anxiety and was terrified that he was going to hurt me. Not a good feeling to get harassed on my own door step. This company doesn't care AT ALL about the environment as they claim they do as they refuse to let you pick up the 'litter' and don't have the common sense to know if you want people to stop dropping things put out MORE BINS!!! There are no bins around where i live so there are NO OPTIONS!! Absolutely stupid, makes no sense!! You should not be HARASSING PEOPLE for money in a COST OF LOVING CRISIS!!! IM NOT GOING TO EAT FOR THREE DAYS BECAUSE OF THIS!!!!
these people should be shut down!! They don't care about the environment or people. Should be ASHAMED!!!

Bitten off there own nose to spite there face

These enforcement officers should look to fining the pigeons that sh#t on the roads, the homeless that leave there litter on the streets.
What a great way to stop tourists from ever wanting to come there again.
I got fined and spend a lot of money in Manchester " News flash " I won't be spending any more I'll sooner go Sheffield, Stockport, Ashton , Oldham , I spend a great amount of money in bars restaurants ,
Your the loses here.

Wish I could give them 0 stars

Wish I could give them 0 stars. Been fined in Bath for a pallet dropped of by a supplier. Unloaded the pallet and then these clowns turned up. They took a photo of the pallet before staff took it in to our shop 1 minute later. The next week I received a £100 fine in the mail. Rang up to complain but they were not listening to what we said. CLEARLY OUT TO MAKE MONEY BY TRAPPING PEOPLE.

Joke of a organisation

Joke of a organisation, they will just fine you falsely without providing enough proof giving a fine of £300 for a offence that I didn’t do, however they bully you into paying by threatening to go through court and having to deal with that whole issue.

Stalked and fined for accidentally dropping a cigarette

One of them waiting outside my daughter's school and then followed me for quarter of a mile. (I know this because she admitted to when she approached me.) I was smoking a cigarette, finished it and had the butt between my fingers which I was going to dispose of in the bin at the end of the road. Somewhere along the way, I accidentally dropped it and didn't notice. Instead of approaching me there and then and asking me to pick it up, she followed me for another couple of hundred metres and then jumped in front of me and issued me with an on the spot fine. Was the first I had noticed I had dropped it and asked her to show me where so I could pick it up but this offer was refused. Also, as I was walking up the road, a drunk was walking along, swigging a can of beer and then chucked it in the road. This didn't seem to bother her though. Just a useless, nasty bunch of stalkers.

My son was approached in an intimidating manner by two 3gs workers in Bristol. He has ADHD and had a lapse in concentration and dropped a cigarette butt. They issued an on the spot fine and had a forceful manner. He suggested he go and pick it up and dispose of it but they refused this solution. They are a form of vigilantism and clearly not interested in giving warnings or using a conciliatory approach. It is akin to living in a Police State

I have been issued a fine which was for dropping litter ie a cigarette at 14.59hrs.
I was not in the place they mention at time the alleged or dropping anything, I do not smoke.
I am waiting for a reply from an e mail.
How can I be fined for something I did not committ and somewhere I was not..at stated time..Bristol City Council employing this company...shambles.
I have since had a reply..promptly I must say..but to say only "human error" by the officer.
They are absolutely unaccountable unless you have the money to take them to court.

Hi while I was walking in Chinatown…

Hi while I was walking in Chinatown Manchester while smoking a cigarette, I was racially profiled where there are others who threw a cigarette buds onto the floor but this 4ft tall midget of a public servant went after me and created a ruckus to made me pay a fine of £120. I was scolded and told not to touch the cigarette buds in which I threw on the floor as I am not allowed to pick it up. Apparently the dim sum shop owner had informed me that this 3gs agent specifically likes to pick on its own tourist of its own oriental heritage.

Bit of tissue fell out my pocket with out me noticing walked about 20 feet looked behind me to see a 6 foot tall neanderthal wanted to hear what he said. Said that I'd thrown tissue on the floor and needed to give my details.. so I walked around him got my tissue off the floor put it in the bin put my earphones back in and walked off followed for 5 mins then buggered off. They have no power to detain so If you are stopped ask them what litter it was pick it up and just walk off don't give any details !!!!!!! 120 quid fine saved
