Public Cleansing.
The arrangements for collection, removal and disposal of refuse are under
the control of the Borough Engineer and Surveyor, who has supplied the following
information: -
Refuse. During the year 23,536 tons of house, trade, street, gully, market
and kitchen refuse were collected and disposed of at the controlled tip. In
addition 18,738 tons of refuse from a neighbouring borough were also dealt
with at the Council's Refuse Disposal Depot.
Street Cleansing. Two mechanical sweeper-collector machines work in conjunction
with the manual sweepers, and as required 3 watering machines are
used for street watering. Two of these three machines are dual purpose machines,
and work as gully emptiers when not street watering.
Gully cleansing. Four gully emptying machines have carried out 7,685 cleansings
of the gullies during the year.
