What can be done about seagulls ripping open refuse sacks?
Seagulls have discovered that plastic refuse sacks often contain an easy source of food. The Council is aware of this problem and encourages all residents to act responsibly and make sure that their own refuse is put out for collection in a suitable container for collection (this would usually be a dustbin with a fitted lid). Wheeled bins with lids have been provided across the district and every household either has a suitable bin or special “seagull proof” sack which should help to eliminate this problem.
