This week we have three different stories from all over the country relating to discarded litter. We discuss not only the sanctions being enforced for litterbugs but also the hero's helping to clear up our streets.

In this roundup, we’re going to look at the rising litter problem across England; north, south, east, and west.

To kick-off the roundup this week we look into a new campaign started by Mcdonald's targeting litter. We then discuss the issue with discarded litter in parks and how both park owners and police are looking to combat the issue.

This weeks roundup begins with a yoga teacher from Kent who plans to collect litter while paddleboarding down a canal. Next, we discuss the litter increase in Lincolnshire due to the easing of lockdown. In Lancashire, the RSPCA is concerned as they are responding to many cases of injured animals due to the large amounts of litter. 

Our first rubbish related story takes us to Wales, where a local charity has raised concerns due to the discarded PPE collecting in public spaces. We then travel to Stevenage where a young Eco-Warrior has contributed massively to the efforts by collecting bags upon bags of rubbish. In Devon, the council is appalled by the amount of refuse left by beachgoers. To end this weeks roundup we discuss a new anti-litter scheme being set up in Northampton

This week we look into the issue of discarded PPE lining the streets of Ayrshire, along with an issue in Bristol regarding empty flower planters being used as rubbish bins. We also cover a story about one of Dundee's youngest recycling whizz-kids and finally, we hear from a Lancashire MP concerned due to the amount of rubbish he has spotted while out on country walks.
