Littered PPE

[Deleted member 18466]

The number of times I've seen littered PPE (personal protective equipment) lying on the ground is too excessive. It's not hard to throw away masks and gloves after you have worn the equipment. People don't realise that someone has to pick their PPE up which defeats the point of wearing it, in the first place.

Has anyone else seen this on their travels?

My heart goes out to the people who collect this PPE litter, whether they are paid bin men/women or volunteers. Littering is a major worldwide issue and one of my biggest pet peeves. It is simply inexcusable to litter and really awful for those clearing it up.
