More than 900 tonnes of dog poo collected across Crawley over last five years

The figures were shared during a meeting of the borough council on Wednesday (March 29) following a written question from Conservative leader Duncan Crow.

Mr Crow said there had been complaints from residents about the bins overflowing and wondered how often they were emptied.

In his response, Gurinder Jhans, cabinet member for community engagement & culture, said the 471 bins were emptied weekly, with a hotspot list of 41 bins that are checked more frequently and emptied as required.
