A laughing gas cannister and more than 40 bottles were dumped in a cemetery has caused anger and frustratation.
Volunteer litter picker Andy Bulman made the grim discovery while out at Newton-le-Willows cemetery, expressing his disappointment at the waste. He told the ECHO: "It's disappointing and frustrating but I try not to get too upset.
"There are many thousands of people up and down the country, like me, who participate in litter picking. It leaves me with a terrific sense of achievement and having made a difference."
