Have your say on our litter bin strategy
We want to improve Sandwell for everyone and we know litter is an issue for lots of people. It’s not acceptable and nobody wants to see it.
So, we’re developing a litter bin strategy.
This will help us to keep our streets clean – and find out from you, our residents, what you’re happy with, and what issues around litter and litter bins need improving.
Tell us your thoughts – take our survey now. The survey closes on 1 November.
