Images of overflowing litter bins in Ancoats have again been plastered over social media — which residents say happens ‘every single week’.
One photo posted on Twitter shows a bin overflowing with coffee cups, plastic bags, soft drinks bottles — and even a settee cushion in the trendy city centre neighbourhood. Nathan Whittaker, who posted the image, says the problem happens ‘every single week’.
Litter has also been frequently reported in local Facebook groups for the area, which is inundated with sunseekers on hot summer days. The problem is exacerbated by the popularity of the area.
