Street Cleaning Programme

Street sweeping.

We clean 10,000 miles of streets a year - picking up 5,000 tonnes of litter, and emptying 2,000 litter bins every week. We also provide mechanical sweepers and graffiti removal.

We aim to:

  • Clean all streets at least once every six weeks, with shopping areas cleaned at least three times a week.
  • Remove litter and dog fouling.
  • Empty street litter bins at least once a week and more often at shopping areas.
  • Remove debris from road accidents within one hour.
  • Remove offensive graffiti from council property within 24 hours of notification.

Please help us by:

  • Not dropping litter on the streets.
  • Disposing of waste in the proper place.
  • Not putting sharp objects such as needles in litter bins.
  • Telling us if you see an overflowing litter bin.
