Keeping Medway clean, safe, green

The council works to reduce waste and pollution and conserve natural resources. We all need to recycle Photo of cloud by George Bosela, provided by stock.xchng (http://www.sxc.hu/profile/bosela)more and we need to dispose of other rubbish in the best way, for example, by taking an old television to the nearest council recycling centre or using the council's free collection service to remove an old sofa. The council's message is simple - clearing litter, illegally dumped cars and furniture costs money that could be put to better use.

A safe environment

Medway Council's Environmental Enforcement Team works in partnership with Kent Police and others to combat the kind of behaviour that can ruin our environment. You can help us by reporting incidents to the council as soon as possible using an online form for graffiti, abandoned cars or fly-posting.

Medway Council takes a pride in working to keep Medway clean and green. Frontline Services co-ordinate the teams that do this.

Planning and preserving the built environment

Medway Council provides information and about planning in partnership with the government Planning Portal (https://www.planningportal.gov.uk/planning/) or you can contact a council planner for advice.
