Residents in the borough of Crewe and Nantwich are being urged to take pride in their areas by adopting a Bin, Verge or Patch the idea behind the scheme is to make our Borough a better place to live in.

Adopt a Bin

Mrs Wright pictured here from Rope Lane, Shavington is the first person in the borough to adopt a bin.

If you have a litter bin outside your house or would like one because people are constantly dropping litter the Council can supply it as well as a supply of black bin liners to insert into the bin, in return all you would have to do is occasionally empty the bin and put the full black bag into your own wheelie bin. 

Other people who are also taking part in the Adopt a Bin Scheme are:-

• Jacko's Chipie, Readsdale Avenue
• Jim's Food Store, Coronation Crescent (pictured right)
• Roger Whitehouse, Bargain Booze, Parkers Road, Crewe
• Sandra Maskery, Bargain Booze,  Shavington
• McDonalds, Crewe
• P.A & B.S Davis, Westside Video,  Queen Street, Crewe
• Mrs Willington, Motor World, Mill Street, Crewe

 Adopt a Verge

Residents of the borough are being encouraged to adopt and maintain the grass verge in front of their property, this ensures a more frequent cut and a more enhanced and aesthetic appearance like the one pictured on the left at Park Drive, Wistaston.

Adopt a Patch

If there is a patch ground you would like to see cleaned up, you and a group of residents can adopt the patch and tidy it up. "As well as having a sense of ownership and the chance to tidy up bits of land, communities can brighten the place up and feel a sense of pride in what they are doing".
