How you can help
You can help by putting your waste in a bin or taking it home.
You can also help by:
- putting bagged dog waste in litter bins
- making sure that cigarette ends are stubbed out before putting them in a litter bin
If you have litter and the nearest bin is full, do not stack it on top or by the bin (where it might get blown around). Please take it to another bin with space or take it home with you.
Make sure your rubbish is well pushed through the opening or lid of the bin to avoid birds and animals being able to remove it.
