Report a litter bin (overflowing or damaged)

Litter bins can overflow, undermining people’s enjoyment of the environment. Find out how to report a litter bin that is full or damaged and how to suggest where a new litter bin could be located.

We need to know if a litter bin is full and overflowing or damaged. 

Please fill in the online form below.

Who owns the litter bins?

Litter bins are usually the property of the appropriate town or parish council. 

Who empties the litter bins?

They are emptied either by one of our street cleaning operatives on a daily/weekly basis or by a waste collection crew on a weekly/fortnightly basis.

Need more litter bins?

If you know of an area that may need a litter bin, please contact your local Parish or Town Clerk. For all Parish and Town council contact details, please visit the Parish council contact details page.
