Abstract

These Regulations concern control of pollution by litter in a public place or in any place that is visible to any extent from a public place. Specific provision is made for littering by transport vehicles and littering of public parks. A local authority shall ensure that each public road or area within its jurisdiction is, so far as practicable, kept free of litter. The Regulations also empower local authorities to undertake waste disposal operations. A local authority shall within its jurisdiction be responsible for the day to day implementation of the provisions in this Act. The Secretary of State may, in consultation with the Secretary of State responsible for the local government, make Orders as may be required for the effective implementation of the provisions of Regulations.
