The aim of the Green Heart of Essex is to be the cleanest district
in England.
We have a Green Heart clean team who carry out our scheduled
programme of cleaning alongside a rapid response team who will deal
quickly with reports of any problems.
Meet the Green Heart Clean team – these are the people who clean
up around the district, empty the dog and litter bins
and generally do their best to keep the district in good
condition.
The are now working longer hours into the evening and at
weekends to make sure that they are there cleaning up when
littering increases.
Their hours are
7 am to 8pm weekdays
7am to 5pm
Saturdays
7am to 1pm
Sundays
Rapid response to your reports
Meet the rapid response team who will clear up the
problems that you have told us about quickly and efficiently.
They also empty the litter bins and dog bins around the district
and wash areas of the town centres which get particularly
disgusting at the weekends after Friday and Saturday nights
They are also trained to investigate fly-tips for evidence of
the offenders.
Town Centre Clean Team
In Braintree, Witham and Halstead you will get used to
the sight of the town centre clean team. Each individual
has specific responsibility for cleaning and litter picking
streets, footpaths, alleyways, parks and car-parks as well as
emptying litter bins and dog bins in the towns.
The team is also trained to monitor and investigate reports of
littering dog-fouling and fly-posting.
