The Problem:
The streets of Leeds City Centre are being littered, because people are too lazy to find the nearest bin.
The Evidence:
Through observation we noticed that litter was being dropped within 16m of the nearest bin. People cannot use the excuse that the bins are too full, or that there isn't enough bins, as they are emptied in accordance to how busy that particular area is. Either being emptied daily or 2-3 times a week. We also counted the number of bins on a route within the centre and accumulated 97. 24 of which are on Briggate (the main shopping street).
We Intend to...
...Decrease the amount of litter in the streets by persuading people to use the bins provided. From our research we understood that the main reason behind littering was that people are too lazy to find a bin. We wanted to persuade people to use the bins by making them more convenient for them. We will achieve this by directing people to the nearest bin, and also by making posters to make the bins more visually appealing.
