Cleaning Salford's streets
Salford City Council has 16 neighbourhood teams and 3 weekly zone teams that clean Salford's streets, shops and schools and we operate 13 mini-sweepers and 4 large sweepers.
This activity involves litter picking, plus general cleaning and sweeping of streets. Teams also deal with the aftermath of any road traffic accidents or reports of dead animals – generally speaking these are given priority and dealt with within an hour of being reported.
The council runs a night service to sweep main streets during quiet periods. This team is available to deal with any emergencies and also assist with winter weather maintenance activity.
How can I help?
- Please place your litter in one of the many litter bins located throughout the city
- Please take your litter home and put it with your household waste if there is not a convenient litter bin nearby
- Please clean up after your dog
- Please do not put your household or trade waste in street litter bins
- Please use the special facilities provided at the city's rubbish tips for scrap or dangerous waste such as used oil to prevent harm to the environment and others
- Please do not feed the pigeons!
- Fly tipping - dumping waste anywhere - is illegal. You can dispose of your refuse by using the refuse collection service or by taking it to one of the city's rubbish tips
