Litter bins
We provide and empty litter bins in public areas throughout Leeds. Depending on how busy the area is we arrange for bins to be emptied either daily or two or three times a week.
Fixed penalty notices
There is a £75 fixed penalty for people who drop litter including cigarette ends, chewing gum and flyers left on vehicle windscreens and for motorists who throw litter out of their vehicles or allow their passengers to do so. Failure to pay will result in prosecution leading to a fine of £2500.
Street cleaning
We also sweep streets regularly to keep them clean. If there is an emergency such as spillage from a vehicle or large volumes of litter at any one location, the emergency services contact us and we clear up the mess.
