We provide litter bins, litter pick and clean public areas. It is important that everyone takes personal responsibility for improving the environment and not littering.
It is an offence to drop or leave litter on any land. A fixed penalty notice may be served, payable within 14 days of the notice being issued. Failure to pay a fixed penalty notice will lead to a prosecution in the Magistrate's Court.
What you can do
Always use litter bins when you're out and about and encourage children to use them. If you can't find a litter bin, take your rubbish home with you. Do not use litter bins to dispose of your household waste.
If you think there is a litter problem in your area, please feel free to let us know.
Need emptying?
All town centre litter bins are emptied a regular basis. All other litter bins are emptied at least once a week. All the dog bins in Rossendale are emptied on a weekly basis. If we see a full bin we will empty it.
