Litter

Dacorum Borough Council is responsible for keeping the Borough clean and free of litter. The Council emphasises that it needs the help of the community to make the careless dropping of litter unacceptable behaviour.

The Council is responsible for keeping the area clean and free of litter.

They will:
  • continuously clean town centres
  • clean main roads once a week
  • clean other roads once a month
  • remove accumulations of rubbish from Council land
  • empty litter bins before they are full
  • help with your locally organised clean-ups
You can help by:
  • being tidy with your litter and chewing gum
  • using the free refuse tips
  • having waste collection contracts for your business
  • not leaving your dog's mess for others
  • not "Fly Posting" - it's untidy and illegal
  • not parking where you want us to clean

The Council is currently considering on the spot penalty fines for those seen dropping litter.
