Cardiff Council told us the changes were driven by people misusing the bins for household waste – but locals say it has led to more rubbish being dropped on their streets.‌In 2024 the council announced plans to save money by reducing the number of litter bins on residential streets and instead prioritise district centres, parks, bus stops and dog-walking routes. At the time it claimed the bins were not used enough and attracted fly-tipping.‌Our Freedom of Information request has now revealed the Cardiff locations where bins have been taken away since 2023 without being replaced
