Refuse - litter bins
Litter in a public place is unsightly, dangerous to animals, and an offence.
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. So always try to use a litter bin or take your litter home.
Town centre
Litter bins are emptied between 2 and 3 times per day.
Residential streets
Litter bins in these roads are emptied on a daily basis.
Shop frontages & subways
These litter bins are also emptied on a daily basis.
