That's significantly more than the national average.
Passing pedestrians and motorists account for the vast majority of littering in Offaly.
Pedestrians create 42% of litter, while motorists account for 25% with most litter coming from people smoking, eating and drinking.
Cigarette related litter is the biggest contributor in the county making up 80% of waste, significantly more than the 55% nationally.
Environmental Strategic Policy Committee member, Peter Ormond, says a change in mindset is needed:
