A recent trial by Dublin City Council to find out whether pedestrians will recycle on-the-go if offered segregated on-street bins appears to have come up with an answer. The council set up segregated litter bins at two locations in the city centre, Wolfe Tone Square and South King Street. Traditionally Dublin City Council provides litter bins where all waste is mixed together. The segregated bin study suggests Dubliners are happy to continue treating all waste equally. Over in Wolfetone Square, all but one of the five bags collected and examined from the segregated bin was found to be contaminated by varying degrees with incorrect material.
