Littering
Report it! - report an instance of littering using our online form.
Litter in a public place is unsightly, unpleasant and dangerous to the public and animals. Always place your litter in a litter bin or take it home.
Litter is anything that is dropped onto the ground in a public place and includes cigarette ends and chewing gum as well as sweet wrappers, drinks containers, paper, bags of rubbish etc. Dropping litter in a public place is an offence. Anyone dropping litter can be liable to an immediate fixed penalty fine and if someone is taken to court the maximum fine can be £2,500.
Litter bins
Report it! - report an issue with one of our litter bins using our online form.
We have installed litter bins on streets and other public land under our control throughout the district. Litter and bagged dog waste can be put in the general litter bins.
