DON'T PLACE LITTER NEXT TO BINS

***

DO YOU REALISE THAT YOU ARE BREAK ING THE LAW IF YOU PLACE LITTER NEXT TO LITTER-BINS?

YOU SHOULD PLACE IT INSIDE A BIN, NOT NEXT TO IT.

TO GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS, THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS PUTTING STICKERS ON LITTER-BINS WARNING THAT DUMP ING LITTER NEXT TO A LITTER BIN IS AN OFFENCE.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY: +IN DENSELY-POPULATED RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS, MANY LITTER BINS ARE PROVIDED AND IT TAKES LITTLE EFFORT FOR PEOPLE TO FIND AND USE A COMPARATIVELY EMPTY BIN.

+PEOPLE WHO JUST DUMP RUBBISH BESIDE A BIN CREATE AN EYESORE AND RISK PROSECUTION AS LITTERBUGS.+
