Recycling within Arms Reach
Traditional recycling "micro" sites miss the passing crowds.
They are typically large drop-off containers that require a conscientious user to collect,
segment and transport recyclables to a central collection facility.
Many of these sites lack universal access for disabled users, are bulky and
noisy, suffer from chronic low levels of maintenance, and are perceived as an
eyesore on the pavement. They are therefore precluded from the high-street,
which results in recyclable waste being littered and eventually landfilled.
Recycling within Arms Reach
By considering land use, pavement width, pedestrian desire lines, placement of existing on-street infrastructure, footfall counts and relative distance to transport hubs Renew ensures the greatest level of access for the greatest number of commuters.
The self reporting technology on recycling levels within Renew, and the messaging
capability of the digital screens can help to understand and optimise recycling
participation on the high street.
Renew extends the benefit of recycling from one traditional low footfall site to
multiple high footfall locations.
