We empty litter bins on highway and in parks throughout the year to help keep the environment clean.

• All litter bins are emptied on a variety of schedules
• The majority of litter bins are emptied once a week
• The town centre litter bins are emptied and inspected daily
• Play area litter bins are emptied twice a week

To report a bin that is overflowing and needs emptying and/or damaged please use the online form and tell us:

• The location of the litter bin
• What damage has occurred including, fire damage, vandalism, liquids i.e: paint

Litter and dumped rubbish

How you can help keep your streets clean

• Put your litter and chewing gum in the bin – don’t litter, it’s a criminal offence
• Take your household rubbish and recycling to a community recycling centre
• Get a trade waste contract for your business 
• Clean up after your dog 
• Don’t put up posters – this is called fly-posting, it's untidy and illegal 
• Don’t park where you want us to clean!
