Janine GriffithsPeople in Killingbeck and Seacroft are being asked to help identify where dozens of new street litter bins should be placed, as the ward prepares to secure up to 30 brand new bin locations.
The rollout is part of a major citywide expansion that will see 1,000 new bins installed across Leeds, increasing the current stock by around 25%. It follows the 12 new bins added in the ward in summer 2022 after local consultation.
The new bins are being manufactured in Yorkshire and will be installed at completely new sites.
Residents are now being encouraged to suggest precise locations where a bin would make the biggest difference. People can comment with a nearby address or a what3words reference, send a direct message, or complete the online consultation which you can find here:Â https://rebrand.ly/councilconsultation
Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
