Litter
Dropped litter

litter can be classed as anything from an apple core to a cigarette butt, and everything in between.
-
the council’s litter picking teams, as well as street sweepers are out and about daily clearing litter from pathways
-
the litter picking teams will leave bagged rubbish at the kerbside to be picked up in a vehicle on their rounds
-
litter clearance in the borough costs the council thousands of pounds each year
