Street Cleaning/Sweeping and Litter Picking

The council's contractor Verdant Group Plc mechanically sweeps all kerbed roads and certain busy town centre locations in the district.

This ranges from every 1 to 8 weeks depending on what is needed to maintain the standards set by the Council.

Pavements are litter picked as often as is required to maintain the standards set by the Council.  The frequency of litter picking ranges from daily to once a fortnight, and some town centre pavements will also be swept.

As part of the council's new contract with Verdant Group Plc, a "quick response" litter, graffiti and chewing gum removal team has been introduced.  This team is available to respond to incidents quickly without disrupting normal cleaning schedules.

We are hoping to develop an online search facility so you can find out when your road is next due to be swept.  This will be similar to our current online recycling calendar search.  Please revisit this page in a few months to look up the cleaning schedule for your road.

If you would like to report an incident that needs to be dealt with by our street cleaning team please use our online form (insert link) or call 01895 837362.

If you are interested in organising a community litter picking event, please e-mail us at refuseandrecycling@southbucks.gov.uk or call 01895 837362 and ask for an information leaflet.
