Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council, GB Litter Maps

In Progress

Ellipsis Earth uses AI-enabled drones and local camera footage to track plastic litter patterns throughout the area. A map created during COVID-19 lockdown provides a relatively clean slate for future analysis. Multiple map layers allow council officials to customize bin placement and street cleaning routes. Council leaders are working with project partners Hubbub and McDonald's to arrange neighborhood-level engagement based on littering hotspots.
