Public Space Bins for Litter and Dog Waste

A public space bin, otherwise known as a street litter bin, lets you dispose of waste whilst you are on the move. This could be when you are out on a walk, or when using public spaces such as parks and play areas.  

Public space bins are also a means of helping us meet our statutory duty to clear litter and refuse (as far as practicable) from public places for which we are responsible for.

In March 2021, councillors debated the use of ‘dual waste bins’ in public spaces across the district, meaning that both litter and bagged dog waste can be disposed of in the same place. These bins will be clearly labelled. Our District Cleansing team have been gradually rolling out the installation of these bins since 2021.

In the meantime, there are still many public space bins within the district where you can dispose of either litter or bagged dog waste.
