Litter is a concern to everyone in our city and creates a significant cost to the council each year.

Maintaining a cleaner, greener city is a priority within the council’s Corporate Plan. Whilst it would be unrealistic to expect a completely litter free borough, the council’s vision is to significantly reduce the amount of litter. 

In addition to the significant cost, littering also has a negative impact on people’s well-being and is highly damaging to the natural environment. We plan to develop a litter strategy that will help shape how we can all work together to make Torfaen a cleaner and greener place to live, work and visit.
