Dog waste bins are located in places that are on regular dog walker routes and in the village there are 8 in the locations shown below.

There are 13 dog waste bins, owned and managed by RAF Marham, around Upper Marham including the following useful locations: Burnthouse Dr (Pill box), Black top field x2, Fen Road at gate to the footpath to the Junior School, Oak Ave play area, Churchland Rd, and 3 around the perimeter fence.

The bins are emptied weekly by the Borough Council (bag colour changes each week, so we know if they have been collected), if you find one that is full please contact the Parish Council Clerk.

In addition to dog waste bins, tied poo bags can be deposited litter bins and in your domestic black bin. There is no collection service for poo bags left in the street, verges, fences or posts and whilst some are brightly coloured they are not designed to act as tree ornaments at any time of the year! (If anyone can enlighten the rest of a bemused humanity as to why some think that this is good idea please let us know…) 

The bin emptying service costs the Parish c£2000 per year for the 8 bins in the village, over 3% of the precept, so we have to balance the number and convenience against a considerable cost. In more remote parts away from housing, public amenities and on the lanes then “stick and flick” is an acceptable. You can also take it home to dispose of.
