Caerphilly County Borough Council’s community safety wardens confiscated 669 cans and bottles from underage and street drinkers during 2010/11.
The team of ten wardens referred 63 youngsters for antisocial behaviour and issued 297 verbal warnings.
The alcohol was either confiscated from under 18s or people drinking in areas covered by a Designated Public Place Order.
Cllr Rob Gough, cabinet member for public protection said: “Our team of community safety wardens make a huge difference to our local area.
“They are consistently at the forefront of helping to combat anti-social behaviour, and are an extremely reassuring presence to local residents, particularly our more vulnerable ones. I am full of praise for the excellent work they do.”
The council said its CCTV operators also played a vital role last year in combating antisocial behaviour.
Operators dealt with a total of 5,281 incidents, and recorded and provided evidence to Gwent Police on 605 occasions.
Cllr Gough added: “Our CCTV operators work tirelessly to ensure that our towns and villages are monitored 24 hours a day, and these figures clearly illustrate how effective CCTV can be in not only detecting criminal and antisocial behaviour, but also deterring this kind of behaviour from occurring.”
