Residents warned against putting household waste in public litter bins.
Wiltshire Council is reminding residents that people found depositing their household waste in public litter bins could be issued fixed penalty notices or even prosecuted for fly-tipping.
Household waste is collected in Wiltshire every two weeks, with all household waste, recycling and garden collection dates available on the waste collection calendar.
The household waste bin should only be used to dispose of any rubbish that cannot be recycled. Any excess waste that does not fit in the bin can be bagged and taken to any household recycling centre (HRC). It must not be placed in litter bins, dog bins or other public bins.
Disposing of waste by unauthorised routes in this way could result in a fine of up to £1,000 or possible court action.
