Tell us about a dog waste bin that needs emptying

Skip to contents of guide

You can tell us about a dog waste bin that needs emptying on:

  • public land (such as the seafront, parks or playgrounds)
  • roads
  • pavements

Dog owners must clean up after their dogs by law.

When you tell us about a dog waste bin that needs emptying you will need:

  • the location
  • any additional information that can help us locate the issue
  • your contact details if you want us to update you

You can also upload a picture of the dog bin.

How we deal with dog waste bins

We aim to empty dog waste bins daily in:

  • busy town centres
  • during summer season in busy coastal areas

Dog waste bins in other areas are emptied less frequently.

How you can help

You can help by putting your dog waste in a bin or taking it home.

If you have dog waste and the nearest bin happens to be full, please do not stack it on top or by the bin (where it might get blown around). Please take it to another dog waste bin with space or take it home with you.
