To reduce littering and waste, consumers are being encouraged to choose to reuse by opting to take reusable water bottles, coffee cups and lunchboxes with them to fill up on the go, rather than buying single-use plastic items.

East of England councils must ‘up their game’ on fly tipping
GMB, the union for refuse and street cleaning workers, said that zero tolerance needed on fly tipping and councils must ‘up their game’.
It added that its study found that East of England councils took too few actions following 61,423 incidents in 2019/20.
GMB London and East of England said that as well as punishing fly-tippers, councils must make it easy to use recycling and collection schemes for bulk items while pandemic access restrictions on using recycling centres requiring bookings need to be rolled back.
