Cigarettes the butt of Kerry litter as council tackles issue

Cigarette butts account for 75% of litter in Kerry, up from 48% four years ago.

The disclosure came in a survey conducted by the local authority which shows the county is facing a “significant challenge” in tackling litter.

Under the new 2013-16 litter management plan adopted by Kerry County Council, a joint project may be operated with publicans in particular.
