Scavenging.
The removal of house refuse is carried out by the
Council, and deposited on a site within the District. Portable
galvanised iron covered dustbins for the storage of
house refuse are in use throughout the District.
The Council has not generally undertaken the work
of removal of the contents of earth closets and cesspools.
This is usually carried out by the occupier of the premises
in a satisfactory manner.
