Pedestrians who dropped litter in Wood Green got more than they bargained for when they were caught in the act last week.
Enforcement officers caught 120 people littering the streets and issued each one with a fixed penalty notice of £75.
Cllr Nilgun Canver, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said:
"We really mean business. The council cannot continue to pay thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money to pick up after litter louts. People must take responsibility for disposing of their incidental rubbish.
"There are litter bins and recycling bins along the high street and there is no excuse not to use them.If people are caught littering or throwing cigarette butts onto the pavement, they can expect a hefty penalty."
As part of the council's zero tolerance policy on littering, a week long enforcement operation took place in Wood Green High Road aimed at targeting litter louts.
No person under the age of 18 or deemed vulnerable was issued with a fixed penalty.
