Talking Bins Tackle Littering


Disposing of rubbish responsibly could net us a celebrity thank-you from October. 25 talking bins are to be installed in central London as part of the Bin Thinking project from Keep Britain Tidy and arts organisation Sing London.

A variety of slebs have lent their voices to the campaign, including Michael Palin who will amend his famous Monty Python catchphrase to 'Nobody expects the Spanish binquisition'. Litter is one of London's least-attractive features and also cropped up in our recent London Annoyances Top 10. The campaign's organisers hope that the talking bins will encourage us to keep our streets cleaner.

The responses will vary according to the location of the bin – Covent Garden's will sing opera to the disposee – but what songs would we like to see for specific areas?
