Frequency of bin emptying

Litter and dog waste bins will be checked on a daily basis. The frequency of litter and dog waste bin emptying will be determined by location and need, however all bins will be emptied at least once per week. Most bins will be emptied on a more frequent basis. In busy locations, bins will be emptied more than once per day.

Damaged bins

Reported damaged bins will be dealt with as follows: 

• Minor damage will be repaired with in 2 working days.
• Burnout and seriously damaged bins will be removed within 1 working day.

Where it is deemed appropriate to replace a damaged bin, a replacement should be in place within 5 working days.

Requests for new bins

When requests are received for the installation of new litter or dog waste bins, an officer will visit the location and make an assessment as to whether or not it is a suitable location for a bin. New bins will be installed in areas where they will make a positive impact on street cleanliness. If a particular location is not deemed to be suitable, the frequency of street cleansing may be reviewed.
