Every trip back confirms that the UK, sadly, remains the litter capital of the western world, although we in the US seem determined to catch up. A train ride through New Jersey a couple of years ago was horrifying.
Even in the environmentally conscious Pacific Northwest, I take a garbage bag on every hike. Plastic water bottles and food wrappers are the most common items, alongside the ubiquitous poo bags that Antonia points out.
Yikes, I imagine that was a hard company to work for.
I'm surprised and bit sad to hear that you see so much trash in the Pacific Northwest. Are you on island? Is some of it being washed up or is it simply being dropped.
We're pretty good here for trash, really, but I'll still find a few pieces on a hike. I found move on a four mile beach walk the other day. It would be different in summer.

The poo bags are rife in the UK, too.
