Street Cleansing Services
We aim to clean all residential streets four times each year. This includes a litter pick and a mechanical sweep of the road surface. In addition, busy areas in our larger villages recieved an interim mechanical sweep and litter pick monthly.
Towcester and Brackley have Town orderlies who litter pick town centres daily and busier parts of the towns weekly. Main areas of Towcester and Brackley are mechanically swept monthly.
We empty street litter bins weekly, and we litter pick lay bys and empty the lay by litter bins twice a week. We aim to mechanically sweep and litter pick main roads four times a year and litter pick all other roads when required.
You can help keep your local area clean by using our litter bins or taking your rubbish home to bin or recycle. You are actually breaking the law if you drop litter (e.g. cigarette ends, sweet wrappers), and you can be fined up to £75.
Fly tipping
We investigate fly tipping and aim to remove fly tipped rubbish from the public highway within five working days. If you come across any fly tipped rubbish, please report it by using our online form.
Lose the Litter scheme
We have litter picking equipment available free of charge to Parish Councils and community groups to enable them to carry out local litter picks. We will normally remove sacks of litter collected as soon as the next working day after the event.
