Trash, Waste & Garbage Bins

Use Busch Systems Trash, Waste & Garbage bins to reduce litter

Litter, apart from being aesthetically unappealing, has direct financial, environmental and health consequences, to individuals, organizations and societies alike. In a 2009 study, Keep America Beautiful reported that U.S taxpayers spent nearly $11 billion cleaning up litter across the country, 10x more than the cost of trash disposal and litter in a community can decrease property values by up to 7%. This amount would be much higher if one were to clean up the country entirely, and which underestimates social and ecological costs.

For the last decade or-so, countries have been shifting from assessing the prosperity of their nations in financial terms to incorporating measures of national well-being – on which litter has a negative impact as well.

In a survey conducted across the pond in Manchester, UK, 81% of people said that seeing litter on the streets makes them frustrated and angry. (Populus, 2015)

More commonly, spending time in places that appear uncared for may result in damage to community spirit, well-being and health. While on the other hand, appealing landscapes with zero waste increase positive emotions and encourage physical activity and social integration (Abraham, Sommerhalder & Abel, 2010; Humpel, Owen, & Leslie, 2002). We can therefore expect that the more littered the environment, the lower well-being will be, especially if litter is a permanent part of the surrounding.
