"I couldn’t see another bin close by so its no surprise this one is full.
"This would be fine if they were getting emptied regularly but clearly they aren't. Birds and other creatures have obviously been going through it all."

"This led to increased pressure on our cleansing team in relation to some seafront litter bins. These bins were emptied by Sunday evening.
"Of course, where a bin is full, we would always ask people to keep hold of their litter and either take it home or use an alternative bin elsewhere."
