Street Litter Bins

Litter in a public place is unsightly, dangerous to animals, and an offence.

 

Litter ranges in size from a cigarette end, 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 committing a littering offence. So always try to use a litter bin or take it home.

 

There are many litter bins in Richmondshire.  Each bin is emptied to a minimum of once per week .
