I can't speak for Canada but littering is fined in most of the 'States [0]. Mind you, this is for freeways but I don't see how it couldn't be applied to residences that are already being actively monitored. Then the behavior is just a matter of risk/reward - is saving $x this month worth an y% chance that I'll have to pay $z? Adjust variables until the answer is "no" in the majority of cases.
