UK launches major anti‑litter campaign with new clean‑up drive
The UK government has launched a high‑profile national clean‑up drive to tackle street litter and illegal waste dumping, mobilising councils, volunteers and enforcement officers.
The UK government has launched a new nationwide anti‑litter campaign aimed at reducing street litter and illegal waste dumping. The initiative brings together local authorities, community groups and environmental organisations to coordinate large‑scale clean‑up events across towns and cities. Extra enforcement powers have been granted to environment officers to crack down on waste crime and repeat offenders. The campaign includes public awareness drives on proper disposal and recycling, alongside targeted patrols in high‑risk areas.
