Litter
Our Area Maintenance Teams provide a street cleaning service for
the removal of street litter, leaf fall and debris.
Refuse placed out on the street for collection is the
responsibility of the resident until it is collected. Any
spillage’s from refuse bags or recycling bins which hasn’t been
presented properly should be cleaned up be the resident.
Litter bins
We maintain and empty approximately 900 litterbins in the city
and rural area. Most of these are emptied
weekly. Some are used more frequently, so we empty them
more often.
It is an offence to place refuse from properties or businesses
waste in litterbins.
Litterbins in park areas are
maintained and emptied by the City Councils Green Spaces section.
In some rural areas the Parish Councils have their own litterbins
which are not maintained or emptied by us.
