'Rubbish Ruth' hits Leicester to pick up litter
A retired teacher is using her free bus pass travel to take herself on a personal crusade to pick up litter across England.
Ruth Major, 79, from Redruth, Cornwall, was inspired by a campaign in France to pick up one piece of litter a day and has since collected about 100,000 pieces of rubbish.
'Rubbish Ruth' has since launched her own campaign called 'Beautify Britain' to clear the streets of litter and is using her senior bus pass to travel on buses from Redruth to Carlisle.
Along the way she's visiting many towns and cities - on Tuesday she was in Leicester, and spoke to Kelly Hinch.
