The Canal & River Trust says the move will save money it could divert to urgent waterway repairs.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath, as seen here in Bingley, Bradford, is a popular route for walkers, joggers and cyclistsA council is seeking "urgent discussions" with the Canal & River Trust after a plan was revealed to remove most towpath bins across Yorkshire and the North East.The trust hoped other agencies such as councils could become responsible for providing or maintaining bins.
A statement said the trust already had many miles of canal where it did not provide litter bins, "including many that have achieved Green Flag Award status". Bradford Council officers have suggested the local authority might not be able to spare staff to traverse the towpath to empty bins on a regular basis.
