Click on the link to listen back to highlights from Talking rubbish – Killyleagh Clean Team on The Chris Scott Radio Show, FM 105 Down Community Radio

Listen in to The Chris Scott Show, FM 105 Down Community Radio first broadcast on  Wednesday evening – 13th October 2021 (7 -8pm) to hear about the battle against litter on the streets of Killyleagh, County Down.

Chris Sheehan, Catriona Loughran and Jayne Macrae talk to Chris about the ongoing work being carried out by Killyleagh Clean Team. They are certainly making an impact on their local community.

Later in the programme Chris talks about his own “experiment” with litter picking in Killyleagh. 

Armed with a bag, picker and a dictaphone he recorded each piece of litter collected. The route was approximately nine tenths of a mile - encompassing the Shrigley Road passing the Castle and onto the Coiley Hill Road to where the pavement ends. One hour exactly. The mobile app informed him he had covered 2091 steps from start to finish. The analysis of the collection was interesting.

355 pieces of litter collected. 49.30 per cent of the litter was plastic based. 91 pieces of litter were drinks cans. Of those identified, 60.5 per cent were alcohol based!

The haul also included 35 pieces of plastic, 21 plastic bottles, 18 sweet wrappers, 11 chocolate bar wrappers and 10 plastic wrappers. All crammed into a bag and a quarter.

So there you have it - 355 pieces of Rubbish per Minute!!

On average 5.89 items per step!!
