Street litter bins

From 1st October 2007 Shropshire Waste Partnership will be resposible for Bridgnorth District Council's waste and recycling services.

Dropping or leaving litter in a public place is an offence which spoils the look of our community as well as presenting a danger to people and animals.

Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper to a bag full of rubbish. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws, deposits, or leaves anything that causes defacement in a public place, they are causing a littering offence. Always try to use a litter bin or take your rubbish home.

Litter bins are provided by Bridgnorth District Council and are emptied on a regular basis. However, you can report a litter bin problem or a general litter problem on (01746) 713100.

Street Cleaning Warden

A familiar face to many of us, Ray Cooper, is one of our street cleaning wardens and his job is to help local residents and visitors keep our streets clean and tidy.
