Street Cleansing

Keeping Streets Clean

Every year Cannock Chase Council cleans 350km of streets - picking up 2,000 tonnes of litter, and emptying 360 litter bins every week.

We all want to live in a litter free and clean environment, and give our streets a clean sweep, but we need to work together to achieve this.

Our aim is to:

  • Clean all streets at least once every six weeks, with shopping areas cleaned at least three times a week.
  • Remove litter and dog fouling.
  • Empty street litter bins at least once a week and more often at shopping areas.
  • Clear flytipping within 2.5 hours of notification

Please help us by:

  • Not dropping litter on the streets
  • Disposing of waste in the proper place
  • Not putting sharp objects such as needles in litter bins
  • Telling us if you see an overflowing litter bin
