Question

how will you manage the litter during field visit

Answer 1

the responsibility of everyone to manage and dispose of their litter correctly. The litter should be placed in the first available litter bin, however if there are no litter bins in the area then it should be taken home and placed in your refuse/recycling bin. In Moray there are over 1,300 litter bins and lay by bins. They are serviced at different frequencies depending on their location and the time of the year, some are serviced every day others twice a week and some only once a week. Duty Bodies must make sure that public land and highways under their control are kept free from litter and refuse, as far as practicably possible and within reason.

How is it managed?

The management of litter and street cleansing operations are based upon The Code of Practice on Litter and Refuse which was issued Under Section 89 of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) 1990, and sets out the legal standards which every Duty Body has to achieve. In the majority of cases this will fall to us; however it should be noted that transport terminals including bus, rail stations and harbours are the responsibility of the operator.
