Council’s new campaign Keep
North Yorkshire Clean is encouraging visitors and residents to dispose
of their rubbish responsibly. The council is working with parish and town
councils to display new weatherproof anti-littering posters in areas where
litter is an issue. The posters will also be going up in laybys, green spaces
and other areas to remind people to do the right thing - take their rubbish
home or put it in the bin. The campaign is aimed at generating a debate about
the issue of littering and the impact it has on communities. It features common
terms using the Yorkshire dialect including ‘gerrit in’t bin’, ‘take yer litter
home, ta’ ‘keep t’ place spick and span, ta’ and ‘keep t’ place clean as a
whistle ta’. Road users will also be reminded not to litter from vehicles as
the campaign includes anti-littering messages on car parking tickets, on petrol
pump nozzles, at services stations and on buses operating across North
Yorkshire.
