We are responsible for maintaining the land owned by us to the standards set out in the Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse 2018.

We are not responsible for railway stations, railway tracks, canal paths or private land.

We clean streets, paths and drains as well as other public areas where we remove litter and flytipping. We also service street litter bins.
