Smartstreets Ltd

The Smartstreets-Smartbins have played a major part in our control of SRL. They have proved to be durable and trouble free and the support and customer care offered by the Smartstreets team is excellent. Any requests raised are resolved promptly and professionally. We also hand out Smartstreets-Minibins to the general public as part of our enforcement 'NO IFS NO BUTTS' campaign. Customers are more than pleased with these items - the feedback we receive is very positive.

We have installed Smartbins in our business locations and college campus. These have proved to be an excellent investment in dealing with litter from cigarette butts and chewing gum. The stylish robust bins are a perfect fit for our streetscape and the incorporation of our logo and prominent signage has helped to promote ownership of the bins by those who use them. They are easily maintained, well used and have contributed to significantly enhancing our pavements and walkways and we are now extending their use to areas within Clydebank town centre. Smartstreets have been flexible and responsive to our needs and we are delighted with the excellent customer service approach they provide.

Working with Smartstreets has been a very positive experience. The support given and the products produced for us for our litter campaigns have been excellent.

We purchased the generic Minibins as a prize option for completing a Green Goals quiz at Bournemouth’s Air Festival. They proved popular and a useful ‘carrot’ for engaging with residents and visitors alike. Over the four days, we gave out close to 500 so significantly fewer cigarette butts would end up on our beautiful beach.

I was asked to install some Smartbins in Tamworth town centre as part of our SRL campaign but was reluctant to fund these bins believing ashtray provision on all our town centre bins was adequate and that additional provision would be underused. I was pleased with the efficiency of your company and the robust design and neatness of your products. I was however amazed at the take-up of these bins by the public and we will be purchasing additional units in the near future.

We found Smartstreets extremely helpful from the design stage right through to final delivery. They gave invaluable advice on the siting of the Smartbins within the Town centres and for the graphics for our Smartstreets-Minibins. They were always quick to reply to an email or phone call. Lovely job, pleasure doing business with you.

We have been pleased to use Smartstreets products in our campaign against litter. The products offer a quality, cost effective solution and have proven to be durable and trouble free. The support and customer care offered by the Smartstreets team was first class and nothing was too much trouble.

We have used Smartbins in various high footfall locations to tackle the problem of cigarette butts and chewing gum. The product is stylish, durable and more importantly well received by the people who use the bins. Customer care is excellent. The Smartstreets team quickly respond to any requests raised and their advice is most helpful.

The University of Reading have installed a large number of the Smartbin litter bins around the Whiteknights campus. The Smartbins are bright, fresh looking and funky which is just what is needed to draw the attention of the students. The Smartbins have gone a long way to improving the appearance of the campus and dealing with the problem of cigarette butts.

Test Valley Borough Council ‘We have been wholly satisfied with the Smartbins that Smartstreets supplied. The service was professional, quick and helpful throughout. We are very happy with the Smartbins and their appearance.

Gosport Borough Council are using the Smartstreets Minibins in all our promotions in the Keep Britain Tidy campaigns. There is also a national ’bin your gum campaign’ in which our Minibin pocket ashtrays will be heavily involved. We also hand the Minibins out to members of public when on patrols to educate and inform. The product is a useful tool for the enforcement team to carry with them as it plainly and simply sends out the message that we will not tolerate cigarette ends and gum littering our Borough. Tough and durable, the product is a very useful tool in the education and enforcement service that we provide.

Haringey Council were extremely satisfied with the product that Smartstreets supplied. The service was professional, quick and helpful throughout and we are very happy with the design and appearance of the Smartbins.

Cheshire West and Chester Council found Smartstreets very professional and helpful to work with from design through to delivery and would not hesitate in purchasing from them again.

Since fitting the Smartbins, cigarette litter has reduced dramatically across our site and our maintenance team find the bins easy to clear and keep clean which is a big plus. A good solution, good design and a very professional service.

All our Smartbins in Waltham Cross are being well used within just one week of installation being 25% to 50% full at the point of emptying. The town centre already appears to be less littered with cigarette ends.

We were asked to investigate into bins to assist in our campaign against gum and cigarette ends. These bins were to be located in our very attractive capital St Peter Port. Once we had seen the Smartstreets Smartbins and the quality of the build, we had no problem in convincing our client the St Peter Port Constables that these were the bins for us. The help from the staff at Smartstreets Ltd was fantastic and their assistance in setting up a front plate laser etched with our logo made the whole process very simple indeed and certainly added a real “ownership” quality to the product. Once installed they looked tremendous, fitting in perfectly with the old look of the town, but in a modern sympathetic way. We started with a pilot installation in the Town area and have now installed a second wave. A very successful scheme and an excellent, good looking and hardwearing product.

The City of Biograd has installed a large number Smartbins downtown and on its shore, by bus stations, cafes and event spaces to keep cigarette ends and chewing gum off the pavements and encourage environmental awareness its citizens. The City of Biograd is first city in Croatia to install Smartbins and thanks to national media coverage we have encouraged other cities in Croatia to adopt this solution. We are very satisfied with the results after installing the Smartbins, had good support and cooperation from the staff of Smartstreets Ltd when they installed the Smartbins for us and their advice was most welcome. We wish Smartstreets much success in their future work.

"Smartstreets are potentially any local politician’s dream. The political costs of doing nothing about cigarette and gum litter are substantial, the current financial costs for providing a clear up solution are incredibly expensive. This remedy is well thought through and a practical way of getting the public to be a part of the solution. Now the decision makers need to be put in the picture. The ability to retrofit to existing infra-structure that already lines every street is a sign of a company creating a market opportunity not just responding to it. There is huge potential in the UK and cleverly marketed right across the European Union you can see politicians seeing this as something at reasonable cost to solve an endemic problem. With customers in six countries already and exports up 40% in the past year, a potential big export winner." Dr Kurt Barling is a Special Correspondent for BBC London News.
