Bradford City Welcome to winter edition of City Matters. "Don't Drop IT; Stop IT!" Put rubbish in your wheelie bin You must put your rubbish in your wheelie bin to keep your environment clean. Don't pile your rubbish up in your house or garden— use wheelie bin or one of our larger bins. You can buy a wheelie bin from our Waste Management Section at 01943-874-122. You can tell us about mice or rubbish in your area by phoning our Public Health Unit 01943-874-146. ▲ Do you know that you can get a ￡50 fine for dropping rubbish on the streets? Our Council officers are on the streets of Bradford looking for people who drop rubbish. They will fine people who drop litter. This is part of our "Don't Drop IT; Stop IT!" campaign. Don't fill your bin — recycle Just think how full your bin gets over the holidays. To reduce your waste: ◆Say no to unwanted bag. Take your own bags to the supermarket or reuse old ones Get your free shopping bag from our Advice Center ◆Recycle your waste. Take bottles to your local recycling center. ◆Buy recycled things. Cards and paper are good examples. Our competition winners As part of our "Don't Drop IT; Stop IT!" campaign, community groups from the north, south, east and west of the city— 500 volunteers— entered our competition to clean up their area. The goal was to make the city cleaner for those who live, work, shop or play there. The four winners were: High Trees Parent Group, South Bradford Community Project, Bridge Community Association and Forest Youth Group.
