Copeland's littlest bin man

Published: 23/04/2019

FOUR-YEAR-OLD Riley McCourt of Mirehouse is such a fan of bins and recycling that he asked for his own wheelie bin for his birthday.

Riley visited the waste collection crew at Copeland Council's Moresby depot after they heard of his obsession with the industry.

He enjoyed chatting with the team, got to do some recycling and took a seat in some of the council's waste and recycling vehicles with dad Anthony.

Riley has his own high-visibility jacket and regularly collects litter near his home, putting it into his wheelie bin and placing it out for collection.

Dog walkers hit with fines

Published: 18/04/2019

THREE dog-walkers have been hit with fines after failing to clear up after their pets in Whitehaven.

Two were caught by Copeland Council’s Enforcement team in the North Shore area, and a third in the vicinity of The Beacon Museum. All three were issued with £80 fixed penalty notices for the offence.

Janice Carrol, Copeland Council’s Community Services Manager, said: “These examples should act as a deterrent for anyone who does not respect the beautiful borough in which we live. We have a zero tolerance approach to dog-fouling.
