Waste and Bin Maintenance

It has been consistently observed that householdwaste and recycling bins are often not returned to their proper positions after collection.

• Litter bins left out of place create an untidy appearance and obstruct pavements.

• More importantly, when recycling and waste bins are not placed back correctly, it can lead to confusion about which bins are which, and where they belong—ultimately discouraging proper recycling and causing contamination of waste streams.

• Improved post-collection procedures, staff guidance, or clearer markings could help ensure bins are returned to their designated spots, reinforcing responsible recycling habits and maintaining street orderliness.
