Litter

• litter can be classed as anything from an apple core to a cigarette butt, and everything in between
• the council’s litter picking teams, as well as street sweepers are out and about daily clearing litter from pathways
• the litter picking teams will leave bagged rubbish at the kerbside to be picked up in a vehicle on their rounds
• litter clearance in the borough costs the council thousands of pounds each year

• For dumped waste use the fly-tipping form
