Litter, dog foul and grit bins
We are responsible for the servicing, emptying, cleaning and renewal of over 700 litter and over 400 dog foul bins on council land.
Litter and dog foul bins are emptied on the same frequency as the streets are cleansed and are sited in locations where our records show that litter and dog foul hotspots exist. The existing bins are replaced if vandalised or damaged.

Every month we deal with numerous reports of littering and dog fouling. Non-reported incidents of littering and dog fouling are also removed frequently.
Waste Enforcement Officers operate and patrol different areas of the County Borough and issue Fixed Penalty Notices in respect of littering and dog fouling offences. Area Operatives are able to report to Waste Enforcement Officers any areas where littering and dog fouling are most prevalent.
