About local community clean-ups

To support our residents in their areas where they live we are organising community clean ups targeting hotspots across the Bury borough.

Across the summer volunteers and councillors from Bury Council are teaming-up with local volunteers, community groups and residents, experiencing our local values - building trust, working together, and putting communities first.

We’re so grateful for the hard work of all volunteer litter pickers around the borough that complement the year-round work of our Street Cleansing Service.

Working together with our volunteers we can make a bigger impact.

Bulky waste collection

If you have large unwanted household items, you can arrange a bulky waste collection, or if your items are in good condition, you could donate them to a charity or community scheme.

Fly-tipping

Fly-tipping is a crime. It can be rubbish from a household or a business.

If you discover dumped rubbish, do not touch or handle it, as it may contain hazardous materials and could also contain evidence that we can use.
