'I wish I smoked just so I could answer!': Cigarette bins that allow smokers to vote with their butts get readers' approval
Innovative cigarette bins installed in a trendy Manchester square have gained the nod of approval from M.E.N. readers.
In Ancoats, smokers have been asked for their opinions on Marmite, and Tom Hardy becoming James Bond. Fittingly, a bin outside Halle St Peters asks if they prefer playing air guitar or air drums, while another outside Rudy’s pizzeria asks if they think it’s acceptable to put pineapple on pizza.Hubbub & Common Works, the firms which produce the ballot bins, say it’s ‘proven to reduce cigarette butt litter by 46 percent’. That’s essential in the fight against waste, they say, as 4.
Sash Cam agreed there was an ‘incentive’ for smokers to use the bins, while Sandra Ebrell urged people to use them. “I am glad it has been brought to everyone's attention as cigarette butts left everywhere look unsightly,” she commented on Facebook. “So use the units provided and keep our streets and roads clean and tidy!”There were some who felt that other sources of litter should be cracked-down on in the same way, too.
