Crackdown on gum-chewing litter louts

A crackdown got underway in Cork, Dublin and Bray today to encourage people to bin used chewing gum in an effort to clean up the country’s streets.

The new industry-backed Gum Litter Taskforce (GLT), established earlier this year, is working to aid councils in Dublin city, Cork city and Bray in Co Wicklow to roll out pilot campaigns to ensure used gum is disposed of responsibly.
