Wybone Bird Proof Litter Bins for Gwynedd’s Council.
Gull of a good idea
From Daily Post West Wales 6th of January 2012
War is being waged on the menace of seagulls – with new “gull proof” litter bins.
Gwynedd’s distinctive green and gold Tidy Towns bins are being fitted with special flaps which can prevent mess caused by the scavenging birds.
All bins include ashtrays to help reduce the unsightly problem of cigarette stumps and chewing gum on the streets.
Environment portfolio holder Gareth Roberts welcomed the new bins.
He said: “there is no excuse for anyone to drop litter in the street with the introduction of these new bins, especially as they can be used to safely and conveniently dispose of cigarette stumps and chewing gum.
“By everyone doing their bit we can take on this problem. The bins are there to be used responsibly.
Anyone who drops litter on the street is risking a fine of £75.”
Funding received as part of the Welsh Government’s Tidy Towns Initiative has helped pay for the bins.
Wybone has made the Bird Proof Litter Bins for Gwynedd’s Council.
Bird Flaps can be fitted as new to our bins and we can retro fit Bird Flaps to many of our litter bins quite easily and cost effectively. If you need your Wybone litter bins to have Bird Flaps, please call or email.
