Discarded cigarette butts spark litter warning

People living in Alderney have been warned not to drop cigarette butts on roads or footpaths.

The States of Alderney said more litter was being found around Olivier Street and the "top of town" area.

It is against the law to drop litter in public places and anyone caught doing it could be fined, the States said.

The States of Alderney has also asked the public not to leave black bin bags out unless they are sealed in a container.

This is because loose or open bags can be dangerous and are not allowed under island waste rules, it said.
