Litter bins and drug debris

Introduction

We provide litter bins to allow you to dispose of your litter. Litter bins in busy areas may be emptied each day and dog waste bins are normally emptied once a week. You can help us keep Somerset tidy by using the litter bins whenever possible. Litter in a public place is unsightly and can be dangerous to animals.

Litter bin issues and drug debris

Town centre bins are emptied daily. Most bins in villages are emptied once a week, except in some smaller rural areas where the bins are emptied once a month.

Drug debris

Items dumped by drug users in a public place are dangerous. If you notice used syringes or needles dropped in public spaces, contact us on 0300 123 2224. We will collect the drug litter as soon as possible, usually within 2 hours during a working day. Or you can report an issue about drug debris by using the form below.
