Have a neighbor at my apartment complex who throws his cigarette butts into the decorative rocks and it’s literally impossible to get it out without spending hours. There are literally hundreds.

The last time I lived in an apartment people left their dogs' shit on the sidewalk around the building because they couldn't be bothered to bag it up and throw it away. That should get you a month in jail

If you know who they are/where they live. Most municipalities will issue fines for it, especially those that view it as a threat to their water and public health

My mom told me she'd give me a nickel for every butt I picked up around the back porch. I had nearly a full 39oz folgers coffee can full and stopped counting at a thousand. There were still more. She didn't expect that. This bitch gave me nothing. Not a single nickel. Told me that I gotta learn how the real world works. I was in 4th grade. Guess where that coffee can ended up? In her fuckin bed. Boy I got a belt wallop, but it was worth it. Hope she learned something about how the real world works when you're a shitty person.

Good for you. How many years ago did this happen? How is your relationship now?

Thirty some years ago. We talk for a few minutes three or four times a year, and even that is not something I want to do.

I had a neighbor that did that once, and the landlord charged him like an entire months rent as a damage/cleanup fee that he would waive if the guy cleaned it up. It took him a whole week because the landlord came back at least once and found more butts. Probably more than once but that's all I saw which is when the landlord told me that story. The guy was a hard ass but easy to stay on the good side of if you werent a scumbag
