Nearly 200 bags of litter removed from Rhyl route during clean up

Nearly 200 bags of litter were recently removed from a road littering hotspot near Rhyl.

Denbighshire County Council’s Streetscene team recently tackled litter building up along the Dyserth Bends.

The team collected 180 bags of litter from the area, which included items such as a microwave and various car parts.

This work also follows recent litter picks at Ty Fry Road, Bodelwyddan and Allt Y Graig, Dyserth, which saw a combined 39 bags of litter removed by Streetscene operatives.

Paul Jackson, Head of Highways & Environmental Services, said: “We know there has been a lot of concerns raised about the Dyserth Bends and we are grateful to Streetscene for carrying out this work.

“Littering is form of anti-social of behaviour and is a criminal offence. It’s a stain on our landscape and can have a negative impact on the quality of life for local residents. People littering also undoes a lot of the work our operatives undertake each day cross the county to keep it as clean and tidy as possible.

“There is no excuse for littering anywhere in the county. The Council encourages the public to report any incidents of littering or also fly-tipping to the council through the appropriate channels.”
