Litter Free Dorset (LFD) launched the ‘bin your butt’ on 11th September starting in Dorchester Town.
Signs went up at either end of South Street showing how many cigarette butts have been swept up each week. The campaign is asking people to use appropriate street bins, wall-mounted cigarette bins or a portable “stubby bin” to help achieve a cleaner county. Businesses are doing their bit to help by displaying posters, having bins for smokers available and handing out the personal stubby packs provided by CPRE. The #BinYourButt campaign is also visiting Ferndown & Swanage. Please check social media for further information for further information and campaign updates.
