rubbish!

Litter urrrgh, it’s ugly smelly and attracts rats and kills wildlife. But as ecological crises go, it’s pretty far down the list. If you’re worried about the rubbish you can see blowing around the street, think of all the rubbish you can’t...

Litter is just the waste you can see, it is just the tip of the iceberg.

What a load of rubbish! or is it? Find out where your rubbish goes and where it could be going...

Reduce, reuse, recycle
