Objectives of the trial:
In addition to the general benefits of introducing smart bins across the borough, we are looking for this trial on Sutton High Street to:
-
Enable us to learn more about how bins in the Sutton High Street area are being used.
-
Target resources to where they are needed most.
-
Reduce street clutter and improve the street scene on Sutton High Street.
-
Ensure litter bins do not overflow, improving street cleanliness.
-
Reduce vehicle movements in the area, cutting pollution and lowering our carbon emissions.
-
Use compacting bins to reduce the number of collections made.
-
This trial will also be used to test different options for the collection of recycling. The quality and quantity of recycling collected will be assessed as part of the monitoring of the trial.
