If the litter is conceivably generated by traffic , perhaps: 'traffic and litter laws and ordinances' If the litter is totally independent of traffic , I'd say: Traffic laws and ordinances AND litter laws and ordinances The point being: you should not introduce logical connections in your sentences which don't mirror the real relationships which they attempt to describe.

Police officers are responsible for the enforcement of laws and ordinances regarding traffic and litter.
Slightly different meaning, but I like it, and it may work, depending on the exact context:
Police officers are responsible for the enforcement of laws and ordinances regarding everything from traffic to litter.
