"Please help everyone to stay safe and have fun by using the bins or taking your rubbish home.

Guidance's issued by SLDC said: "Litter is unsightly, spoiling our public spaces and damaging to the environment and wildlife.

"We provide and empty over 850 litter bins across our district.

"We empty bins at busy places up to four times a day, main street and playground bins are emptied daily and bins in villages and quieter places are emptied weekly."
