Let's keep our community clean

We all want clean and beautiful streets we can be proud of. We know that illegally dumped rubbish is a major concern for you – it’s a priority for us, too.

Our officers regularly patrol our streets to quickly remove dumped rubbish and gather the key information we need to issue fines.

You can help too, by making sure your waste is disposed of properly.

Did you know that placing rubbish on the kerb without a booked hard rubbish collection is illegal? Don’t risk a fine – use our services to easily manage your waste responsibly.

We offer easy options for all residents to get rid of unwanted items each financial year, including two free hard rubbish collections and 11 free and discounted waste and recycling vouchers. These vouchers help you dispose of brick, rubble, green and timber waste.

By doing the right thing, you can help keep our community clean, protect the environment, reduce clean-up costs and make our neighbourhoods more enjoyable for everyone.
