The authority has suspended the team of 10 litter wardens pending further review.
The council has previously been accused of using over-zealous litter wardens.
In July, two workers were threatened with fines for "dropping cigarette butts" in Maidstone as they put up a church fence, even though they placed the butts in the bin.
Another man was given a litter fine after dropping a cigarette but in his own wheelbarrow.
