Litter Bins at Hartham
I was enjoying the sunshine down at Hartham this afternoon - along with the Rest Of The World. It was lovely to see so many folk enjoying the park, but it was really sad to see the bins overflowing and as a result, some families leaving their bagged litter next to the trees under which they had been sitting. Is it too much to expect people to take their rubbish home with them if the bins are full? Is it too much to ask the council to empty the bins perhaps at midday on a busy weekend? Is it too much to ask for either an extra couple of bins or a large skip-bin near the bottle banks that people can use in the event of other bins being full? I would have thought a small sign on each bin directing people to an overflow skip wouldn't cost a huge amount,and would save a lot of litter collecting as well as improving the environment.

The amount of rubbish left there today was disgusting. I really don't think it's an issue of not enough bins, as it wasn't like there were bins surrounded by rubbish that people had had to leave there because the bin was full. There were piles of rubbish ust left where people had been sitting, it was outrageous.

When I left the overflowing bins were surrounded by rubbish. This was at about 5.30pm and the bins nearest to the play area.

They have been overflowing since the Easter weekend. Anyone contacted the council to get their derrier in gear?
