Street Litter

Chester City Council is legally responsible (so far as is practical) for the sweeping of streets and removal of litter from Public Space.

Chester'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. For more detailed information about the Litter Laws and related legislation, please visit the  ENCAMS Publications  (external link) website.

If you feel your road is not swept satisfactorily, if you want to report anyone dropping litter or you have any other comments or questions, please contact us using the details below or the fill out the online form by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. Litter ranges in size from a single sweet wrapper, to a bag full of rubbish. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 states that if a person drops, throws, deposits, or leaves anything that causes defacement in a public place; they are committing a littering offence. So always try to use a litter bin or take it home.
