"Hippy crack" canisters have been found scattered on one busy Merseyside beach
Canisters containing the substance, otherwise known as laughing gas, were amongst the rubbish recovered by people on West Kirby beach over the weekend. Local residents came together on Saturday (September 17) to collect hundreds of pieces of litter dumped on the sand as part of the Great British Beach Clean.
Nearly 40 residents armed with litter pickers descended on the beach as part of the annual campaign run by the Marine Conservation Society. The West Kirby event was organised by local residents in conjunction with Oceans Plastic Free, a sustainable toilet and kitchen roll brand.
