Reduction in littered gum

Trialled in Devonshire Street, Sheffield

How to execute this intervention

This intervention works well where a light (rather than official) tone is suitable. It proved effective when trialled in an area which is busy at certain times with multiple food on the go outlets and bars. Saying ‘thanks’ delivers an unspoken assumption that somebody has already done the right thing (without needing to tell them to do it).
