Refuse - litter bins
Watford Borough Council provides nearly 500 litter bins across the town which we empty more than 90,000 times a year!
Litter can be anything from a single sweet wrapper or a cigarette butt to a bag full of rubbish. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws 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, shop frontages and subways - litter bins are emptied on a daily basis.
Let's work together to ensure Watford is a town to be proud of!
