The main roads in the Basildon District are swept continually on a three monthly cycle, but if there is a deviation in a specific location it would be actioned.
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 the Litter Code of Practice under the Environmental Protection Action 1990.
If you feel your road is not swept satisfactorily, or you have any other comments or questions, please contact Streetcare
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 to a bag full of rubbish. The Environment Protection Action 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.
There are over 500 litter bins in the Basildon District. Each bin is emptied when it is full and can take bagged dog waste and litter.
To report a problem with a litter bin or to request a litter bin at a new location please contact Streetcare
