Street cleaning

We are responsible for cleaning the public highways and streets across North Somerset.

We remove litter, dog mess and rubbish from your local community and wash areas where excessive grease and grime has collected. We also empty litter bins.

In Weston-super-Mare our cleaning team rakes the beach clean every morning and clears it of litter during the summer.

We spray verges and pavements with weed killer at least three times a year to prevent weed growth.

We aim to clear fly-tipped waste within two working days of it being reported although very large deposits may take longer to remove due to the collection of evidence and haulage arrangements.

We aim to remove reported dead animals within one working day of being told and syringes within two hours.

If you do find a syringe do not touch or hide it and report it to the local landowner as soon as possible or contact us for further advice.

Our services do not include the cleansing of private land.

If you notice any litter or waste issues you can report a problem online or contact our Streets and Open Spaces team.
