Today, we’re asking everyone to help keep Wrexham litter free – and help look after our wonderful corner of the world.
Littering is high on people’s agendas, and it’s time to work together across Wrexham to tidy up our parks, verges and open spaces.
In Wrexham we’re particularly lucky to have areas of outstanding natural beauty and special scientific interest, as well as Green Flag parks and open spaces…so it’s important that we all see them at their best, without litter and the blight of dog fouling and fly-tipping.
As well as spoiling our enjoyment of our environment, litter can threaten wildlife and habitats.
How can I make a difference?
- Always take your litter home or put it in a bin
- Always pick up after your dog has fouled
- Organise a community litter pick – Caru Cymru can help you with this and you can find out more online
- Report any graffiti or fly-tipping online.
- Don’t get caught out with ‘a man in a van’ offer. Anyone removing your waste must have a Waste Carrier’s License. Always ask to see it before you pay someone to take it away
If you do come across littering or fly tipping please report it using our online reporting facility.
Please don’t attempt to open any bags or move it so our officers can safely investigate to see if there’s any details we can use to issue fines, or even look at prosecution or a fixed penalty notice.
Let’s prevent litter becoming a nuisance
Councillor Terry Evans Lead member for the Environment, said: “We all appreciate the communities in which we live and work and we’re asking everyone to make a difference by helping to keep them clean and tidy.
“There’s lots we can all do, and as long as we do it safely, we should all be looking to do our bit to prevent littering becoming a nuisance.
“The Household Recycling Centres are all open and any excess waste should be taken to one of them.
“Cleaning up litter and fly-tipping also uses up valuable time and resources. When you look at the scale of the county borough, it’s time and resources that we don’t have. So please do your bit and Keep Wrexham Tidy
