We are backing Keep Britain Tidy's Great British September Clean, which kicks off on 11 September and runs until 27 September.

Dispose of your rubbish responsibly

Most cases of litter affecting animals are preventable if rubbish is disposed of properly and responsibly.

Animals looking for food can get trapped in tin cans and plastic bottles where the sharp edges can cause injury.

We encourage people to clean and empty food containers before pinching them shut or cutting them in half before putting them in the recycling.

Here's RSPCA rescue Frankie disposing of his own plastic bottle toy.
