Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council

Introduction

The quality of the local environment is important to people, the Council operates to a cleansing standard set out in the Environmental Protection Act 1990 Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse.  We ensure areas are cleansed to a high standard in order to be attractive for residents, visitors, existing and new investors within the Borough. We pride ourselves in our efforts to make Doncaster Cleaner, Greener and Safer.

Take PRIDE (Personal Responsibility in Doncaster's Environment) is the message to residents to encourage everyone to do their bit to keep the Borough clean and green. PRIDE was originally launched by Mayor Winter in 2004 as part of his campaign to have cleaner streets in Doncaster. Since that time the campaign has grown and now includes a special category in the annual Doncaster Discover the Spirit Awards. The campaign in 2007 includes a series of activities to raise awareness of some of the ways that we take pride in our environment.

Many compliments are received from local people and visitors regarding the standard of cleanliness. 

Doncaster remains in the top three Metropolitan Authorities surveyed for standards of street cleanliness.

Will you remove litter from any piece of land?

We will try to keep areas free of litter and refuse as far as is reasonably practical. 

If the litter is on private land, it is the responsibility of the landowner, however we will take action wherever posible to improve unsightly landscapes
