Bin roll out programme - October 2021
Week beginning 4 October, we start installing new bins in our green spaces, i.e. parks, recreation grounds and small open spaces. Weather allowing, the installation will be completed by 31 October.
The existing dog waste bins will be replaced with dual use ‘litter/dog waste’ bins. There will be a small number of bins displaying ‘litter only’ signs remaining in locations near private residences. Please do not put dog waste into those bins.
The new bins will have flaps to reduce vermin and prevent litter spread. They will also have a unique identifier number and QR code to report issues more easily. By knowing the bin location, we cut our response time dealing with issues that are reported online.
Please note: we will install five solar powered bins with a higher capacity at Hinchley Wood Memorial Garden, Cowey Sale and Hurst Park at a later date. The existing bins in these locations will be retained until then.
You can report uncollected bins or litter problems on green spaces using our online system.
Paddling pools and splash pad
The paddling pools and splash pad are now closed in line with the school holiday ending.
Green spaces maintenance
Grounds maintenance staff from our contractors idverde are on duty to deliver a range of services to keep your local open spaces as tidy and welcoming as possible. Litter picking service continues for people enjoying the open spaces.
If you see overflowing bins, please help our maintenance staff by taking your litter home to dispose of. If you would like to help by joining a litter group or setting up your own, email greenspaces@elmbridge.gov.uk so we can discuss how to support you.
For further information email greenspaces@elmbridge.gov.uk or call 01372 474474.
