The Council's streets are divided into zones, depending on the volume of traffic using the streets each day. The more frequently the road is used, the more often it will be swept.

However, if the visual appearance of an area should deteriorate to an unacceptable level between cleans, it will be cleaned up within a certain time, as laid down in a Litter Code of Practice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

If you wish to report a litter problem please use the contact details below or complete an online report form:

Cigarette butts and chewing gum are now classified as litter, and it is an offence to drop litter anywhere - including private land, rivers, ponds and lakes.

Our Environmental Enforcement Officers have the power to issue on-the-spot fixed penalty notices for £80 to anyone seen dropping litter. We can also require fast food outlets, stalls and mobile food vans to clear litter from their land.

The street cleansing teams pick up litter and empty litter bins on a regular basis. In the town centres of Bradford on Avon, Melksham, Trowbridge, Warminster and Westbury, bins are checked and emptied daily, for other areas, this is done on a weekly basis.

If you notice a litter problem, or see a bin that is full, then please contact us:
