Cigarette Bins
The CCID donated 50 cigarette bins to help keep the Central City streets clean. These have been placed in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic to raise awareness of anti-littering campaigns. The bins are serviced by Straatwerk daily and have been so enthusiastically received that we are currently having an additional 50 bins made.
