Visitors to Rivington are being urged to take their rubbish home with them.
Chorley Council, which looks after waste collection in that area, have advised people to be responsible when having picnics.
They are asking people to report full litter bins online so they can be cleared.
Posting on Facebook Chorley Council said: "If you are planning a picnic with family and friends please plan to take your rubbish home, the litter bins aren't designed to take large boxes and disposable barbecues as we have seen this weekend and one or two groups of people filling it straight away.
"We've all got to work together at the moment, we will do our bit if you can do yours too, thanks to everyone who took their rubbish home this weekend if the bins were full."
