Images of popular UK beauty spots devastated by plastic pollution have become the norm and since lockdown has been lifted there has been a visible increase in plastic pollution due to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) littering of face masks and gloves.  Keep Britain Tidy returned with the Great British September Clean (11-27 September 2020) which also coincided with Recycle Week (21-27 September) and the Council used this as an opportunity to encourage residents to reduce their use of single-use plastics by switching to reusables. 

We’d love to see your selfies of your reusable face mask on social media – remember to tag in Telford & Wrekin Council and use the hashtag #choosetoreuse
