GOV.UK litter and refuse code of practice

Street bins are for on-the-go litter such as tissues, snack wrappers and finished drinks containers that cannot go anywhere more useful. Keep batteries, vapes, electricals, liquids, glass, medicines and bulky items out of public bins because they can cause fires, breakages, contamination or missed recycling.
