 Town centres
There are a number of cigarette litter bins installed around the main five towns of Thetford, Dereham, Swaffham, Attleborough and Watton, for public use. More will be installed in the future. For a list of locations click here.
If you can suggest a location in a town centre that would be appropriate, please contact us. We will inspect the site and decide.
Remember, dropping your cigarette ends is littering, doing so could land you with an £80 fine if caught. This our current anti cigarette litter campaign poster.
Other areas in the district
(Businesses and community groups)
Cigarette bins can be a good way of keeping the outside of your building tidy. Emptying an ashtray of cigarettes is much less time consuming than sweeping or litter picking individual butts.
Keep Britain Tidy (EnCams) has a list of cigarette bin manufactures who offer a variety of discounts when you quote ‘EnCams’. Bins vary in size, price and style and can be found here.
Wall mounted cigarette bins
If your building is listed you will have to ask Breckland Council planning department for permission to install a bin. To check if your building is listed contact planning@breckland.gov.uk or call 01362 656870.
You must seek the building owners’ permission before installing a bin on the property.
Floor mounted cigarette bins
To ask for permission to install a floor mounted bin please contact your local town or parish council asking them to submit a request to Norfolk County Council Highways department to place street furniture in the highway.
More info can be found on Norfolk County Council website under ‘street furniture’.
