What police/911 operators do with complaints that's too minor to take action?
When I say too minor, I mean not serious enough for police to come out to take actions.
Example: on highway some driver finished their cigar and throw it out on road. The witness in another vehicle got angry and call police because that's litter. Litter is a crime but will police come out and look for them to fine them? Answer is no because the one who complain is only one word against another with no proofs.
I mean what generally police and 911 operator do? Guess all they gonna ask is "describe the vehicle with plates number" after that thank you for reporting?

DOING anything IS taking action. In cases such as your example, it is possible they simple won't do anything.
Update to comment: DEAD WRONG. The concept of DOING NOTHING seems to go over your head.

First off, you don't call the emergency number because someone threw their cigar butt out of the window. The police aren't going to do anything unless they happen to see someone littering themselves.

If someone's very instant they might "take a report", but nothing will ever come of it. They might also encourage the reporter to call again if the offensive behavior continues or increases to something more serious.
Actually, this is often the case for small crimes that *are* serious too.
