In preparation for next year’s campaign (#LitterCounts), I thought I would share the brands of beverages we have found in Chippenham over the past several years. After each clean up, Jon counts the glass bottles, plastic bottles, and aluminium cans we have found, and records the number of each type and each brand. This has been an eye-opening experience; in three years, our individual rubbish walks and community clean ups have found:
- 918 glass bottles
- 3259 plastic bottles
- 3953 aluminium cans
- … and 324 bags of general rubbish
Besides the sheer quantity of recyclable material found, the number of brands is also staggering. The areas we tend to run community clean ups–Monkton Park and Donkey Field–are adjacent to sports centres, so it’s probably no surprise that sports-related rubbish is also prevalent, with an average of 5-10% of what we find falling into this category (most of which is some type of Lucozade).
