How much is it costing?

• The cost of cleaning up chewing gum from a town centre is up to £60,000
• Fly-tipping costs Network Rail more than £2.3 million each year
• Clearing litter costs Dartmoor National Park £20,000 a year
• According to a 2014 Keep Britain Tidy report, if we recycled 50% of items littered in England, it would have an economic value of at least £14.8 million
