Poll: Does littering and illegal dumping annoy you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

There are spots in Hamilton where it’s inescapable. Supermarket trolleys loaded with rubbish. Debris accumulating under trees. Plastic bags and Lime scooters thrown down a riverbank.

The depressing tide of litter and rubbish shows few signs of going away, despite the heroic efforts of some individuals to do their bit. One gully cleanup in Donny Park netted a tonne of rubbish, including supermarket trolleys.
