The location of litter bins is based on factors such as footfall, shop fronts and main thoroughfares which require a litter bin. Bins located in residential area are serviced daily Monday – Friday with higher demand locations also being serviced Sat/Sun, bins located on main thoroughfares shop fronts and high footfall locations are serviced at least once a day, 7-days a week with additional lifts as required.

Each bin is fitted with a QR code. This means that each bin can be scanned using a mobile phone and subsequently reported for being full/damaged/graffiti/illegal dumping. This request will be sent to the local waste management team for action.

The condition of litter bins can also be reported by clicking the link below.
