We look after approximately 1,000 litter bins across the borough. We understand that it is important to residents that litter bins are emptied on a regular basis.
Emptying of litter bins
All clean zone bins are emptied on a daily basis, including Saturday and Sunday. All other bins are emptied at least twice a week.
If you see a full litter bin that needs emptying, you can report it to us online.
Please note that if the litter bin is scheduled to be emptied the following day then we will empty it as scheduled. We use requests to empty full litter bins to help us to improve our emptying of bins schedule.
Report a damaged litter bin
We will repair or replace damaged litter bins, if you see a damaged litter bin then please report it to us.
What public litter bins can be used for
Both litter and dog waste can be put in any public litter bin.
Public litter bins should not be used by commercial businesses, if you see anyone using public litter bins to dispose of commercial waste then please report it to us by emailing info@southribble.gov.uk.
