Bournemouth's disco bin proves a hit

It seems the world's first disco bin, which was installed in Bournemouth last month, is proving a hit.

It's near Boscombe Pier and rewards people who use it with a blast of music and disco lights.

BCP Council and the charity behind it - Hubbub - is now urging people to share the litter message on social media and promote use of the bin.

The Bournemouth Tourism Team said: "If you've seen any bright new bins around the BCP area they are probably due to a summer anti-litter campaign funded by McDonald's and run by environment charity Hubbub.

In June, the project carried out the most detailed 'litter mapping' ever done in the UK to see what litter was being left where, and when, and if bins were being used (or not!).

Using this data to highlight litter hotsports, Hubbub has installed bright yellow voting bins around Bournemouth Square, and attached yellow cigarette butt bins to lampposts on Boscombe High St and Poole High St.

Plus the world's first disco bin has been installed near Boscombe Pier where it rewards people who use it with a blast of discos music and dance floor lights!

This project needs your help for some ready-to-go fun social media content about litter including images, animations, and facts please click this link.
