BINS at a popular spot in Ilkley will be moved as part of a trial to see if it will reduce littering. Bradford Council says that bins at the town s Riverside Holmes Field soon overflow during warm weather when crowds descend on the area, and that this leads to people dumping their waste next to the bins. The Council is moving the bins away from some of the more popular areas, and will instead encourage visitors to use large trade waste bins at the entry and exit points to the site. Existing litter bins have been relocated elsewhere in the park and visitors and residents are being encouraged to use the larger trade waste bins located at the various entry/exit points.
