Litter piles up on east Devon's beaches

There's been a big increase in litter and plastic bottles on east Devon's beaches.


The Marine Conservation Society has collected data on the waste found on beaches by volunteers who carried out clean-ups in Branscombe, Dawlish, Exmouth and Budleigh in September.

On average the amount of litter has gone up by a third.

The MCS would like to see  more recycling for plastic bottles - and a deposit-return system for glass
