Council clamps down on illegal disposal of waste in town centre
North Lincolnshire Council is urging residents and visitors to report businesses who they see using the town centre litter bins to dispose of their trade waste illegally.
There have been reports from local residents and some businesses that the bins are being filled up with commercial waste, leaving little or no room for litter.
The council recently announced it is to put in additional resources to undertake a clean-up blitz in Scunthorpe Town Centre as it launched a cleaning hit-squad to help keep it clean and litter free.
Business have a duty of care to safely store the waste they produce. Failure to do this could result in an unlimited fine in the Magistrates Court.
For more details, including how to report anyone using litter bins for commercial waste, visit our website.

Village green designation for Barton
North Lincolnshire Council is designating an area of land known as Top Field, in Barton-upon-Humber, as a village green to protect for future generations.
The new village green, measuring over 3.5 acres, sits to the south of the roundabout on the A1077 at the entrance to Barton.
This provides a fantastic opportunity for the local community to take control of its future and ensure that it is turned into an excellent community asset.
