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

Report significant cases of littering to our customer services team on 024 7637 6376.

• For dumped waste use the fly-tipping form
