The amount of the monetary penalty that a person may be required to pay to a waste collection authority under section 46A is—
the amount specified by the waste collection authority in relation to the authority's area, or
if no amount is so specified, £60.
A waste collection authority may make provision for treating a fixed penalty under section 46A as having been paid if a lesser amount is paid before the end of a period specified by the authority.
The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision in connection with the powers conferred on waste collection authorities in England under subsections (1)(a) and (2).
Regulations under subsection (3) may (in particular)—
require an amount specified under subsection (1)(a) to fall within a range prescribed in the regulations;
restrict the extent to which, and the circumstances in which, a waste collection authority may make provision under subsection (2).
The Secretary of State may by order substitute a different amount for the amount for the time being specified in subsection (1)(b).
A fixed penalty under section 46A—
is recoverable summarily as a civil debt;
is recoverable as if it were payable under an order of the High Court or the county court, if the court in question so orders.
