Chewing Gum Wrap-Its

The council takes seriously the issue of chewing gum waste and staining on the borough's streets, and understands that the public recognise it as a strong environmental concern on the streets.  The current campaign and enforcement, combined with a monitoring process and education in schools, is intended to improve awareness of the problem and reduce its effects.

Wrap-Its

Once you have enjoyed your chewing gum, please dispose of it carefully. You should wrap the gum in a tissue and place it into a litter bin. You can also get special Wrap-It folders FREE from a number of outlets around the borough:
