Objectives of the trial:

In addition to the general benefits of introducing smart bins across the borough, we are looking for this trial by the Lavender Fields to:

  • Enable us to learn more about how bins in the Lavender Fields area are being used.

  • Target resources to where they are needed most.

  • Reduce street clutter and improve the street scene by the Lavender Fields.

  • Ensure litter bins do not overflow, improving street cleanliness.

  • Reduce vehicle movements in the area, cutting pollution and lowering our carbon emissions.
