Ballot Bin was born from one big idea – that behaviour change works better when it’s playful, social and timely.
Created by environmental charity Hubbub, our products and campaigns are designed to make sustainability second nature for everyone.
Who we are
Hubbub is an award-winning environmental charity that brings together businesses, local authorities, and community groups.
We create campaigns that make it easier and more possible for all of us to make choices that are good for the environment – like making leftovers tastier, reuse easier, second-hand the default and communities that are greener and more connected to the environment.
Everyday solutions that do good, feel good and show how much change is possible when people come together. Because to make change at the scale and pace needed, we all need to get on board.
Why we do it
Every year, the UK spends over £1 billion cleaning up litter.
So we asked a simple question: What if bins caught people’s attention instead of hiding in plain sight?
What started as a small experiment on London’s Villiers Street in 2015, is now a global success story. A spark led to the Butt Ballot Bin – the viral yellow voting ashtray that cuts cigarette litter by up to 70%.
Now we’ve gone bigger… with the Big Ballot Bin, designed to capture any kind of rubbish.
How we do it
When we created the Ballot Bins, we didn’t just design a bin – we designed a behaviour change tool.
