I don’t think [1] or [2] are even (reasonably) ‘possible’ in most similar situations.
I think the only plausible possibilities are:
The relevant people persuade the litterers to remove the items they left in the garden. (Assuming the story in the post is accurate, this didn’t work or wasn’t tried.)
Some people, i.e. not the litterers, and maybe ‘the city’, remove the items.
[1] requires fairly ‘expensive social technology’, e.g. trust, common values, or effective persuasion being feasible at all, and it is not-uncommonly either absent or prohibitively costly to develop.
