Keep it Clean!

Clearing litter and fly-tipping from public spaces costs Wigan Council an estimated £4million every year.

It also harms our environment, impacts on local watercourses and wildlife, and damages civic pride in the towns and townships across our borough.

Wigan Council has agreed a Litter Prevention Strategy, aiming to tackle litter and fly-tipping in partnership with communities and businesses across our borough.
