A survey of British litter Summary: This survey was undertaken to answer two questions: "What's littering Britain? and more specifically "What brands are littering Britain?". Litter is a significant environmental problem and an understanding of what types of products are most likely to be littered is an important step to developing effective prevention strategies. Equally, identifying the most frequently littered brands is a significant step to developing greater producer responsibility for the problem. Volunteer litter pickers from across the country were invited to participate in the survey. The litter pickers were asked to: - pick up 1-2 large sacks of litter; - sort the litter by type, i.e. cans and bottles, crisp packets, fast food, and then by brand; - count the number items for each brand; - record the results on a survey form. The survey form and instructions provided to the litter pickers are contained in Appendix 1 and 2. The survey was conducted in September and October of 2009. Details: Litterheroes.co.uk, 2010. 20p.
