Doing Your Bit
Everyone can do their bit!
- Put your litter in a bin
- If there happens to be no bin available, take your litter home
- Don't throw litter from your vehicle. Use a car litter-bag or wait until you find a bin. Never empty car ash trays onto the ground
- Cigarette ends, matchsticks and chewing gum are small but they're still litter, so is discarded food. Use the bin!
- Protect our countryside and remote places from litter pollution. Materials like plastic, tin, aluminium take decades to decay.
- Make sure household or business refuse is securely contained in a bin or bag, so that it doesn't escape and become litter
- Everyone is responsible for their own waste - never dump it. Extra household rubbish can be taken to the Nuffield Household Waste and Recycling Centre free of charge.
- The Council are working in partnership with Dorset Reclaim
to collect large items such as furniture or beds. - If litter has built up and become an eyesore, report to the Council cleaning service.
- Keep your own garden or land litter free.
