Grass cuttings and maintenance

The council's ground maintenance is carried out by ID Verde.

  • Open Spaces

A grass cutting schedule is set out every year starting from mid March to the end of October.

Open spaces (parks and play areas)

The Open Space grass cutting is scheduled for 10 times per year and are approximately 3 weeks between each grass cut. Open spaces consist of small parks with play areas to large areas like the Washlands in Burton.

Highways grass cutting

For any queries or complaints regarding grass cutting on the highway, please speak to Staffordshire County Council.

Litter Picking and Bin Emptying

The majority of Council parks and open space, with the exception of the parks and open spaces adjacent to Burton town centre and Stapenhill Washlands (which are done five days a week), are litter picked either once or twice a week with bins emptied weekly. A small number of open spaces with less footfall also have a litter pick each accounting period (13 times per year) whilst others receive an annual one in winter.

The tables below show the exact day each open space is litter picked and the bins emptied.
