  • The litter was cleared inside the green bag and around the area. The resident requested that we remove the green bag as it is a continued hot spot for people dumping cans inside, to which I replied that it is not Veolia's responsibility to remove it. DD 11-02-2026

    Appropriate action has been taken to resolve the issue.

  • The tree officer has reviewed this tree and the stakes and bag are still required for the summer to ensure that the tree is well established and protected. We are sorry that a minority of people litter over which we have no control.
