We’re sharing eye-catching artwork on the digital screens along the seafront, encouraging everyone enjoying the esplanade to take their rubbish home.  

The messaging is positive, humourous and centred on collective responsibility – because it’s up to all of us to help keep Weymouth tidy.  

If you spot the artwork, take a photo and share it on social media using the hashtag #MyWeymouth, along with what you love most about the town.  

To help tackle cigarette litter around the harbour, we’ve partnered with four local pubs -The King’s Arms, The Royal Oak/Rendezvous, The Ship Inn and Old Rooms Inn.  

Together we’ve installed three cigarette butt bins and a Ballot Bin to encourage smokers to bin their butts rather than throw them on the pavement/down a drain.  

The Ballot Bin adds a bit of fun by letting smokers ‘vote’ on a light-hearted question (such as “Mayo or ketchup on your chips?”) using their cigarette butts. 

Bright, friendly signage will be installed at key entrance points to the Marsh Playing Fields, encouraging visitors to respect the area by using public bins responsibly and clearing up after their dogs. 

Local households will also receive a postcards with: 

• Simple tips on caring for the playing fields  

• What to do if public bins are full 

• Information on local enforcement measures  

Following a workshop with Budmouth Academy’s Eco Club, we’ve launched the ‘Budmouth Battle of the Bottles’; a competition between school houses to recycle the most plastic bottles. The aim is to boost the school’s recycling as well as reduce the number of bottles littered across the school grounds.
