Street litter bins
Dropping or leaving litter in a public place is an offence, as well as being unsightly and dangerous to animals. Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper to a bag full of rubbish.
The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws, deposits, or leaves anything that causes defacement in a public place, they are committing a littering offence. The maximum fine for littering is £2,500.
We provide and maintain litter bins to try and prevent the depositing of litter in public places and empty the bins on a regular basis.
Report a damaged or overflowing street bin.
