✨ NEW DUAL BIN ON WATLING ST PATHWAY, REDE COMMON! 🚮 ✨

Great news for everyone visiting and enjoying the lovely paths of Rede Common, Strood—we’ve got a brand-new bin installed right along the Watling Street pathway, and it’s even better than your usual waste bin!

This clever dual-purpose bin is designed to make keeping our green spaces clean and simple:
✅ General rubbish – all your usual litter, wrappers and waste
✅ Dog waste – dedicated space for bagged dog poo, so no more carrying it around or leaving it hidden!

No longer do you need to hunt for separate bins—this one does it all, helping us keep the paths, woods and open spaces tidy, safe and pleasant for walkers, families, and four-legged friends alike 🐕🌳

A big thank you to Medway Council for installing this handy new facility and helping to look after our local green spaces—your work makes such a difference to our community!

Let’s all do our bit and use it properly—bag it, bin it, and help keep Rede Common the wonderful place we all love to visit!

Spread the word and share the news—let’s keep our community spaces sparkling! 💚
