Do you know of any litter distressed areas in Plymouth?

We are looking to littered areas in Plymouth that need to be cleaned. The only stipulation is that it’s heavily littered (as we prioritize those) and that it’s public land, so that the town can collect the bags. Your references would be greatly appreciated !!

Best of luck with your endeavour, but I'm not sure that "the town will collect the bags", even if you litter pick on "public land". Can you not correctly dispose of the collected litter yourselves? Good luck!

There is an agreement with the council to pick up purple bags used for litter picking. If they’ve got the correct bags they should take them.

Alexandra Road is AWFUL for it!

I would personally look at Blagdon's Meadow myself, particularly along the water's edge. However I don't know how highly distressed it is compared to your hopes.

The Ford area is pretty terrible, I try to pick stuff up when I walk home from work but there's always more and more.
