How you can help
You can help by putting your waste in a bin or taking it home.
You can also help by:
- putting bagged dog waste in litter bins
- ensuring that cigarette ends are stubbed out before putting them in a litter bin
If you have litter and the nearest bin happens to be full, please do not stack it on top or by the bin (where it might get blown around). Please take it to another bin with space or take it home with you.
To avoid creating the opportunity for birds and animals to remove waste from a bin please ensure your waste is well pushed through the opening or lid into the bin.
