The Council is responsible for the sweeping of streets and removal of litter.

The Council prides itself on keeping the streets of the towns and villages within the district clean and litter free. To do this we provide litter/dog waste bins in public open spaces and on streets and pavements, mechanical street sweeping services and litter picking in towns and along major verges.

North Wiltshire District Council is responsible for emptying its own litter bins.  The bins are emptied at different frequencies  based on the type, location and usage.

The Council's streets are divided into zones, depending on the volume of traffic using the streets each day. The more frequently the road is used, the more often it will be swept.

However, if the visual appearance of an area should deteriorate to an unacceptable level between cleans, it will be cleaned up within a certain time, as laid down in a Litter Code of Practice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
