Street Litter Bins

Litter in a public place is unsightly, dangerous to animals, and an offence. The average fine for littering is around £95, but can be up to £2,500.

Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper or a cigarette butt, 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 approximately 250 litter bins in Rutland. Each bin is emptied at least once per week and in town centres daily. The litterbins can take bagged dog waste and litter.
