The figures were revealed by the Lichfield Litter Legends group.

The group have become a familiar sight across the city this year, helping to clean up regular hotspots as well as helping to tidy up woodland after an illegal rave during lockdown.

A spokesperson said:

“Over the past year we have been keeping a record of how many bags of rubbish volunteers have collected here in Lichfield – the amount is shocking.

“The last four weeks has seen collections increase dramatically because of the many new volunteers joining us.

“But the total of 2,178 bags does not include all the much larger items Lichfield Litter Legends have collected on group picks.”

Fantastic to see people still care and want to make Lichfield, a nice place to live.

I would echo that, well done to all the litter pickers helping to make the city cleaner and showing they care. It’s a shame the lazy people who drop the litter don’t feel the same way.
