There are hundreds of litter bins in Bournemouth. Each bin is emptied frequently, depending on it's location and amount of use and can take bagged dog waste and litter.

Littering 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 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.

 

Always try to use a litter bin, or take it home.
