A series of colourful new bins have been revealed across the city encouraging people to dispose of their litter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new scheme is part of the Streets Ahead programme, which aims to keep Sheffield a clean and tidy place to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bright new bin wraps were designed by local artist Luke Horton, featuring Yorkshire slang like \u2018Chuck it in\u2019 & \u2018Purrit int bin\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Horton said: \u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute pleasure creating these designs for Sheffield City Council, to help spread the important message about people using bins to get rid of their rubbish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hope it makes a real difference and gets people thinking about chucking their litter in the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following last year’s successful Tek It Ome campaign, which aimed to tackle littering in parks and green spaces in Sheffield, the new bin wraps are appearing in several locations across the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillor Joe Otten, Chair of the Waste & Street Scene Policy Committee at Sheffield City Council said: \u201cWe have over 3000 litter bins on Sheffield\u2019s streets that are maintained and emptied by Streets Ahead and it\u2019s been great to work with a local designer to make some of these bins brighter and more visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNobody wants to see litter on the streets and I\u2019m hopeful that these new bin stickers encourage more of us to purrit int bin!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
