Litter and issues with litter bins


We keep the city clean by removing litter and maintaining bins for litter, recycling and dog waste.

Tell us if you see a build-up of rubbish or an issue with a bin.

Flytipping

Flytipping is the illegal dumping of waste. Report flytipping to us using our online form. 

Dangerous litter or bodily waste

Use our online form to report needles and drug-related litter, broken glass, blood, vomit, urine or faeces.

Put your own health and safety first – do not touch the waste. 

Report dangerous or bodily waste

We’ll aim to respond within two hours to reports that we receive between 6am and 3pm, or as soon as possible otherwise.

We will remove dangerous litter or bodily waste from private land, but we charge to do so. Please make it clear if the waste you are reporting is on private land and provide contact details so we can arrange payment quickly.

Request a litter pick

If you see litter in a street or on a park or open space, you can ask us to clear it.

You can also ask us to collect bags of rubbish after a community litter pick.

Our form to request a litter pick is not working at the moment. Please contact us to tell us where you have seen the litter and we’ll report it for you.

Report an issue with a litter bin

We are responsible for bins for litter, recycling, and dog waste all around the city. We empty them all regularly. Tell us if you notice one that is overflowing, unclean or damaged.

If the bin is contaminated with blood, broken glass, drug-related litter, faeces, urine or vomit, or please report dangerous litter or bodily waste.

Our form to report a problem is not working at the moment. Please phone us to tell us where you have seen the problem and we’ll report it for you.
