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. So always try to use a litter bin or take it home.
There are in excess of 1000 litter bins in Stafford Borough Council. Each bin is emptied at least once per week 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 use the contact details above.
