Are you up for the challenge?

Cigarette butts continue to be the most common form of litter on the planet.

Trillions are dropped every single year in our cities, towns, villages and countryside. Wherever you find people you will find cigarette butts. Lots of them.

They are one of the greatest littering problems facing the planet today. That’s why Rubbish Walks launched Blitz The Butt Week.

12 – 18 September 2022
