Abandoned Vehicles
Abandoned vehicles have a major affect on the quality of life of local residents. They can be dangerous for children, pets and wildlife as well as having a detrimental affect on the environment, business, tourism and the local economy.
Balloon Litter
Balloon releases are a very popular way of raising awareness of a particular campaign or of raising money at fundraising events. In 2007 a number of high profile campaigns have used this method of getting their message across.
Coastal Litter
Coastal and marine litter includes items found on a beach or at the coast, whether washed up or left behind, as a result of human activity.
Dog Fouling
Anyone who has stepped in dog faeces knows that it is dirty, smelly and difficult to clean off your shoe, which can be both unpleasant and embarrassing.
Fast Food Litter
Food-on-the-go litter has a major affect on the quality of life of local residents. It can be dangerous for wildlife and pets and it can attract rodents.

Roadside Litter
Hundreds of thousands of pieces of litter are dropped on Scotland's roadsides from vehicles each day. This litter mainly includes "food on the go" items such as drink bottles, crisp packets and fast food packaging.
Smoking Litter
Smoking related litter is the most common type of litter on the streets of Scotland. Surveys show that over half of our streets have some form of smoking related litter including cigarette butts, matches and packaging.
