Loch Lomond litter crisis deepens as funding cuts leave bins uncollected

Funding cuts have forced the removal of bins along the A82 at Loch Lomond after emergency Covid-era money ran out. The Friends of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs charity, which maintained bins for four years, can no longer afford the £25,000-£30,000 annual upkeep cost. Locals warn the scenic route's reputation is being damaged by litter and that household rubbish is being dumped in tourist bins.
