They're coming back, and in the news today.
What, I hear you ask?
Deposits refundable on return of bottles.....(cans too i think)
About time too!
Last Saturday we did a litter pick in Linford wood - the venue for my local parkrun - and we were all shocked over the number of drink bottles (both plastic and glass) and drink cans we picked up... In an hour we'd filled 24 large sacks with litter
If there was a deposit on those bottles and cans we'd have come away from the litter pick millionaires...
I always thought fast-food packaging and Costa cups were the biggest problem but our litter pick disputes this...
We were all utterly shocked and disgusted at how badly littered 'our' wood was and how so many seem to disrespect a local beauty spot and green area within the city...
On one litter pick we once found a full box of medical 'sharps'

How the hell do they end up in a wood?
Just like on this particular pick a whole stash of half-used tins of paint were uncovered in the undergrowth...
