Go Green with Sunderland City Council

Sunderland City Council is encouraging people to ‘Go Green' by supporting Communities and Local Government’s ‘Connect To Your Council Day’.

Residents can easily access information on green issues and a wide range of services, by using the environment friendly method of logging on to the council’s website.

Sunderland residents have a range of ‘green’ council services available to them online on the FixIt page, where they can report flytipping, request a Kerb It green box or find out information on recycling services.

Sunderland’s online payments service allows residents to pay for a whole series of different services instead of travelling to the council offices and queuing at a counter to be served. At the touch of a button, residents can do anything from paying their council tax or for home support and day care services, to settling a planning fee bill or even buying a fishing licence.

More information can be found on the online services pages.

The council's website also has information on sustainability, climate change and how Sunderland has become a Fairtrade City.

There is also information on how travel plans can help promote cleaner and greener travel. 

Sunderland City Council also encourages you to find out exactly what your carbon footprint is by using the Carbon Calculator then check out the green checklist which suggests ten easy ways to reduce it.
