We are responsible for the collection of litter from any area of public land within the district. We work to take preventative measures, investigate incidents and the causes of littering, maintain collection facilities and clean up or remove waste.
We invest every single penny we can in services to help maintain the beauty and cleanliness of East Suffolk but sometimes admit that it can never necessarily be enough.
There are certain types of waste arising from home treatments i.e. home dialysis or infectious waste that requires specialist collection and treatment.
Domestic electricals and electronics contain small quantities of hazardous materials as well as valuable materials such as precious metals. They must not be thrown away in the rubbish or recycling bins at home.
Abandoned vehicles can devalue an area, promoting blight and deterioration. They create fire and health and safety hazards and generally constitute a nuisance and obstruction to other road users.
