In 2002 Falkirk Council decided that a comprehensive ‘Litter Strategy’ was required to tackle the problem of litter in a ‘holistic’ way.
This strategy recognises that no matter how well and how quickly we clear up the mess caused by littering, the only sustainable solution is to find ways of preventing littering in the first place.
To do this we need the support of a wide range of people; businesses, schools, community organisations and other agencies all have an important role to play.
Our campaign ‘Litter: There’s No Excuse’ has been running since April 2004 and we use a wide range of media to ensure our message reaches as many people as possible - you may have seen our adverts and posters on Council vehicles, on litter bins, in the cinema or your local library.
