Things the policy team get excited about on #GLÂN surveys: a series.

4. Finding someone’s secret litter stash inside or behind street infrastructure! 🕵️‍♀️

When you go out litter picking, do you check behind grit and utility boxes, bus stops, fences, in raised beds and down drains? 🔍

#Litter #Surveys

An accumulation of litter behind a grit box backing into a hedge, including a crutch, plastic bottle, cans and red plastic. A stash of litter behind a street utility box. Identifiable items are a glass bottle, clear plastic cup, a coffee cup, an alcoholic drinks can and smoking packaging.

3. Cool and unusual litter items 😎🆒

We couldn’t have predicted these! A mini hot water bottle, a medicine ampoule, a tech deck and a light bulb in a hedge 🤔

#Litter #Surveys
A tiny red hot water bottle on the ground. A glass medicine ampoule on a background of sand at the beach. A light bulb being held up by vegetation in a hedge. A tiny skateboard with Tech Deck printed on the grip tape, being held up on the end of a surveyors fingers with a paved path in the background.

Esri products have enhanced the efficiency of our #litter #survey system and will improve how we visualise and share our #GLÂN data to target resources & preventative action, while ensuring policy is evidence-led!

2. Seeing their first item as part of an emerging litter issue 🆕

The items on the bingo card this year include #nicotine pouches, tooth #floss sticks, reusable #vapes and vape refill pods!

#Litter #Surveys
A blue vape refill pod lay in the dirt, separated from the main vape unit which lies in the background. 4 plastic tooth floss sticks littered on the pavement next to a wall. 2 reusable vapes littered on the road with the mouth piece facing away from the camera. The charging ports are clearly visible at the base of the vapes. A ground level photograph of a littered nicotine pouch in the bottom right of the corner. There is a grass verge, path, sea and ships in the background.

1. Community anti-littering and dog fouling signage 🐕🚯

Simple or philosophical, vintage or downright helpful, we love to see them!

#Litter #Surveys
Wooden sign attached to a chain link fence with the beach and sky in the background. The sign reads "Doo Poo Philosophy #3 Don't leave your rubbish on the rocks, it chokes the fish and spreads the pox (Dachschund Freud)". An old style circular green metal sign reading "C.R.D.C. No Litter, Penalty £10". An image of a communal area with 2 benches a planter and a bin. White spray painted text reading "bin" with an arrow point towards the bin. A white plastic sign attached to a chain link fence reads "Please help us Keep Cwmtwrch Tidy! Feel free to use the bags provided to clean up after your pet and take it to the nearest bin. Do not just leave it on the floor! Diolch yn fawr. Thank you." Below the sign is a dog poo bag dispenser with a black dog poo bag hanging out. There is green vegetation in the background.

Our litter surveys aren't all about counting rubbish and getting in the steps, we also love to engage with interested parties on the ground🐈

It's the container that matters, not what's inside! 🍾

We welcome a 2027 #DRS that includes glass & reuse.

A DRS should be fair, simple & based on materials with waste #prevention at its core.

Wales is 2nd in the world for recycling – let’s aim for the same high standards for #reuse! ♻️

🦇 What is a roost? Here are some bat roost facts:

🪹 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to shelter, live and sleep in.
🦇 Where bats choose to roost varies between species and the time of the year.
📍 They don't stay in the same roost the whole year.

If you love animals, you don’t drop #litter. It’s that simple.

Litter hurts animals. Don’t drop it & pick some up when you can. It only takes a minute & feels good to make a difference. 28,000 dog owners removing over 40 million pieces every year, a few bits at a time.
