Cobh Launches Novel Way To Tackle Cigarette Butt Litter
"Litter ballot bins" have been installed in Casement Square and Pearse Square in the town
"Litter ballot bins" have been installed in Casement Square and Pearse Square in Cobh and each of the metal yellow coloured bins has a changeable question on the front.
Smokers can "vote" for their preferred answer by placing a cigarette butt into the relevant slot, encouraging members of the public to dispose of the cigarette butt in the bin, rather than littering on the ground.
The bins were installed in recent months and are expected to dramatically reduce littering in the town.
The same style of bin has proven successful in reducing cigarette butt litter by 46% in other locations.
