The town of Ashington is calling on all residents to show their love for their community by reducing waste, reusing items, and recycling properly.
Recent figures show fly-tipping is on the rise, with a whopping 115 tonnes of illegally dumped rubbish spread over nearly 2,000 incidents in the last financial year ☹️ Not to mention an astounding 326 tonnes of general litter in public bins and found littering our streets, despite the tireless efforts of volunteers and the NCC Local Services Team who litter pick. It’s hard to imagine that amount of rubbish - we hope our infographic below helps.
