Enjoying the great outdoors

We have some fantastic outdoor spaces in the borough, with a wealth of walking and cycle routes throughout the towns and surrounding countryside.

If you’re out and about and see any of the following, remember you can let us know by using our Report It section on our app or on the website found here: www.ashford.gov.uk/report

Overflowing bin – and if there is no alternative litter bin along your route, please take your waste home

Dog fouling– remember you can use any regular litter bin, not just a dog waste bin

Damaged litter bins

We take pride in our borough!

Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who participates or organises litter picks in our borough. We have seen an increase in the amount of community groups and individuals arranging and taking part in litter picks in recent months. Remember to let us know if you are arranging one in advance by filling out our form online, so that we can loan you the correct equipment, waste bags and arrange a public location to collect the waste. This ensures our crews can collect it as soon as possible, and avoids it being mistaken for side waste – or fly tipping! More information is available on our website at www.ashford.gov.uk/community-litter-pick
