It's Still Littering

In a survey carried out for Keep Britain Tidy by YouGov more than one in four people (27%) admitted to ‘carefully’ littering - leaving packaging behind when eating or drinking ‘on the go’, leaving a can or coffee cup on a wall or ledge, or leaving rubbish at a train station or bus stop before boarding.

This intervention, developed our Centre for Social Innovation, helps local authorities tackle 'careful littering'. The intervention serves as a gentle reminder that, whether it's ‘carefully’ placed or simply thrown on the floor, It’s Still Littering.

The trial in town centres, bus stops and parks across the country, reduced litter by up to 57%.

The packaged intervention is now available to local authorities. Starting price for Network members is £1,500 (£1,950 for non-Network members).

All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc.  Total sample size was 2,143 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 12th - 13th July 2018.  The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+). Trial made possible thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

About the intervention

^

Our research has shown that people often litter by carefully placing or leaving their rubbish behind, such as leaving a sandwich wrapper on a bench where they have been sitting or placing a coffee cup on a surface, such as an electricity box, when they are walking past.

Our new intervention, It's Still Littering, addresses this behaviour directly, by highlighting that carefully or covertly leaving litter is still littering at the moments in which people are likely to carry out this behaviour.

This is done through the use of large floor stickers which can be displayed around seating areas, benches and bus stops; wall and window stickers for use on ledges and window sills where items often get littered; and signs to be used on lampposts and fences in areas where people tend to eat on the go.

These eye-catching materials feature those items which typically get left behind including coffee cups, sandwich boxes and drinks cans.
