Litter and litter bins

We all have a part to play in keeping Trafford clean and tidy. Every day, we empty litter bins and respond to requests to clean up litter.

Litter bins in town centres and shopping centres are emptied at least once a day, and others at least fortnightly. 

Report a full litter bin

We empty litter bins regularly. However, sometimes a bin can get full before we can empty it. If a litter bin is full, please use another or take your rubbish home with you.

You can also report a full litter bin online. We will send a crew to empty it by the end of the next working day.

Dog waste

We no longer install dedicated dog fouling bins, but bags of dog waste can be placed in normal litter bins.
