City & County of Swansea, GB Recycling Mini-Sweeper Center

Complete

A one-year pilot with Hubbub added 119 recycling bins for glass, metal, and plastic containers. This trial was paired with the #Intheloop social media campaign and a public art display made from recycled materials. Local officials also purchased two Hako Citymaster sweepers that provide all-weather cleaning for side streets. The Citymaster has a narrow frame and small turn radius that reaches places inaccessible to Swansea's existing fleet.
