The street cleansing service provides regular mechanical and manual sweeping of all adopted roads on a scheduled basis. Every road is usually swept either daily, weekly, fortnightly or four weekly, depending upon service needs. Busy High Streets will need to be swept much more regularly than quiet residential roads.

Litter Removal
Areas where most litter is generated are swept frequently with many areas receiving daily attention. We are not responsible for private land, canal towpaths and certain other areas. Please let us know if there is a problem with litter around your area.
Fly Tipping
Fly Tipping is illegal.
Anyone found depositing waste other than at an authorised waste disposal site will be prosecuted.
Please report any incidences of fly-tipping to the Environment Agency on 0800 80 70 60 or contact Waste Management Services on (01756) 706203.
Litter Bins
Litter Bins are located at strategic points throughout the district and emptied according to their needs.
If you think your area would benefit from additional litter bin provision or the litter bins need emptying, please contact Waste Management Services on (01756) 706203.
Dead Animals
Dead animals are collected from the public highway and associated areas of public land. We will also collect dead domestic pets free of charge.
Dog Waste Bins
Over 180 dog waste bins are sited at specific points around the district and are emptied according to needs. If you find a dog waste bin damaged or needs emptying please contact Waste Management Services on (01756) 706203.
If you would like to organise or take part in a litter-pick event or community clean-up, we can help by providing free refuse sacks, gloves, litter-pickers and free collection of the rubbish you collect. Please contact Waste Management Services on 01756 706203 for further details.
