Increasing numbers of people are tossing rubbish from vehicles on to verges, Keep Britain Tidy says.

Littering on major roads can be reported to National Highways, while rubbish on smaller roads should be reported to the local council

One lorry driver from the county said litter on verges of the A303 was the worst he had seen in years. Last month, BBC Radio Bristol reported that some 60 bags of litter and a lorry full of bulky waste had been cleared from the A4174 Bristol ring road.Small animals could get trapped in empty containers, the charity Keep Britain Tidy said

Try Barbados, especially Bridgetown.

Sometimes it is weeks before they are cleared. Councils got rid of their DLO to save money. But the outsouce companies are, in some cases, more expensive per man hour than council employees were.

Imagine if they said the opposite, how much revenue they would lose...

We used to have yellow bins on lamposts and people who emptied them picked up litter and swept the gutters. Now litter is just left to build up and not a sign of a bin anywhere.

Country pumping literal shit into their rivers and seas upset at dirty roadsides

Not surprised when u only get a bin to empty every 2 weeks Derrrrrrrr

It’s not great in Gloucestershire either!

I have never dropped any rubbish, aways bin. The roadsides in England are disgusting, I saw many times people littering while driving, why? I just don't get it.

With over 1 million 3rd world migrants entering the UK each year, the UK will start looking more like a 3rd world.

Everything, but everything, from the state of our roads, the polluting of our river, our NHS collapsing, public services shutting down. Let’s be honest, the Conservatives have pillaged and plundered our country and you (BBCPolitics) have done nothing…. absolutely nothing

The littering culture amongst the UK populace is down to poor education of children, in the home by parents, then in the schools by teachers and then in wider society by general example. Failure to remove litter is on the municipal authorities, who do not see it as a priority.

Can't believe how much I see and how little seems to be done to stop it.

Not as bad as our rivers. Conservatives - The Sewage Party
