Litter Bins new

Not all litter bins are owned and managed by the District Council.

On-street and town centre litter bins may be the responsibility of any of the following

District Council
Parish or Town Council
Shopping Centre Management Companies
Other private landowners

Our contractor is required to empty litter, dog waste and on-street recycling bins as frequently as is required to ensure sufficient capacity is available for use. This means that there is no set timetable for bin emptying.

Town centre litter bins are emptied every day and barrow operatives also empty bins in high intensity areas which become full during the day.

Once reported to the contractor as full, a bin must be emptied within set timescales depending on the location of the bin. On average this is two working days from the received report.

District Council litter bins are currently lined with blue bags.

We also have some bins that a multi-chamber with separate sections for paper/card and/or bottles and cans.

If a bin is overflowing or broken please report to adminSOX@biffa.co.uk
