People in Brighton and Hove are having to meet an annual clean-up bill of nearly £3 million.
This is because local people continue to drop litter. The Tidy Britain Group claims this is the amount it costs every year in the two towns to clear-up after litter louts. The charity said litter made the town look ugly, put visitors and firms off the area and increased the vermin population.
The Tidy Britain Group is preparing to launch its tenth annual National Spring Clean in April. Hundreds of people and organisations in Brighton and Hove took part in events last year.
People and groups interested in joining the National Spring Clean should call Freephone 0800 7837838 for information packs.
