Background

I have always wanted to know how much litter we see in Vancouver. Are we really suffocating in piles of plastic? How often do people dispose their garbage correctly? A report Street Litter Audit by Dillon Consulting gave me quite a lot information to process and consider. Even though the report was published back in 2017, most of the information shall remain relevant and still deserves attention.

Challenge

Illustrate statistical information for street litter in Vancouver, Canada.

Solution

My additional research and analyzing a report published by Dillon Consulting has revealed the amount of litter in Vancouver, the most popular types of litter by category and materials.
