Litter bins improved across Surrey Heath

Litter bins across Surrey Heath has been improved as part of a council initiative.

Across the borough, dog waste bins and small litter bins have been replaced with larger closed-top litter bins.

The scheme, which has been rolled out to increase capacity and reduce the spread of litter, has already seen 1,230 bins being upgraded.

The next phase of the project will see recycling bins being installed in Camberley town and village centres until March 2025.

Surrey Heath Borough Council said the project will result in 17,000 litres of extra waste capacity across the borough, along with improved recycling facilities.

Councillor Morgan Rise said: "The new bins will offer greater capacity for waste collection, reducing the likelihood of litter being scattered by the wind or spread by animals."
