It transports the waste to transfer stations for onward transfer to landfill. The Cleansing Service sweeps around 550 kilometres of streets  and around148,500 sq metres of car park  and maintains over 50 public toilets. In addition, it litter-picks public places, empties litter bins and controls dog fouling through a team of dedicated wardens.
