An environmental charity has called on the Welsh Government to urgently implement a deposit return scheme for cans and bottles to help reduce the amount of littering in Wales.

Keep Wales Tidy has published its annual All Wales Report for 2023-24, which provides the only consistent and robust measure of street litter data for the whole of Wales.

This year, Keep Wales Tidy surveyed 3,161 streets across Wales between April 2023 and January 2024, with results representing streets adopted by local authorities alone and not extending to parks, beaches or busy roads, meaning results likely present a significant underestimate.
