Using litter bins

There are many litter bins across Westmorland and Furness. The majority of these bins have been sited in places where there are likely to be a significant amount of people, for instance in the Town Centre, in other shopping areas and close to beaches.

We manage the emptying of litter bins depending on the level of use. Litter bins are generally emptied during the earlier part of the day. In busier locations they are emptied throughout daylight hours.

Find your nearest bin in:

• Barrow area
• South Lakeland area

Dog waste

All bins are dual purpose, meaning that bagged dog poo can be placed in them.
