Litter & Dog Waste Bins

2nd August 2025

Wotton's newest Litter and Dog Waste Bin has been installed on the corner of Westridge Road. 🎉 🎇 🎆 🎊

It is hoped that this will alleviate the capacity issues of the bin across the road at the top of Little Acre and encourage dog walkers not to leave dog poo bags along the route of the footpath, in hedges and on people's driveways etc.

Ideally, positioning the bin up by the pony paddock might have been better but, trust me, the procedures and processes do not permit this. If you are at all interested I've kept some notes on the a previous blog page.

Anyway, I knocked on a few doors up on Westridge Road on Saturday offering some stickers that the private land owners can put on their boundary fences etc. The stickers remind forgetful dog owners that not cleaning up after their dog can lead to a fixed penalty notice or prosecution (up to £2,500, I think).

If you were out when I called and would like one, let me know in the shop (Cookability), I have a few spare.

If you ever see a bin overflowing you can report it directly here which can, eventually, prompt a change in the collection frequency by Ubico, the contractor used by SDC.
