unBINlievable
unBINlievable is a project working with Bristol Waste, Leafield Environmental and community activists around Bristol. The problem we were tasked to solve was the issue with the bins in this area of Bristol. People were not organising their recycling and was appropriately and leaving their bins out on the street, making it difficult for people to get past.
​
My response to this was to create a series a bins that taught children the importance of organising waste for recycling. Using colour, character and games engage the children to learn about this serious problem. I also had a large online presents that further showed the narrative of this project and brought all three bins together, with more games and information to learn on this site too.

Meet Betty Blue
Betty Blue is the face for the black recycling bin in
Bristol. She is made to make it clearer on what this bin can and can't recycle, things such as paper, glass, batteries and textiles.
Meet Ollie Orange
Ollie Orange is the face for the food waste bin in
Bristol. He is made to make it clearer on what this bin can and can't do and the importance behind correctly throwing away food waste.
Meet Gary Green
Gary Green is the face for the green recycling bin in
Bristol. He is made to make it clearer on what this bin can and can't recycle and how important it is to recycle. He can recycle thing like plastic bottles, plastic packaging, card boards, bottle lids, juice cartons, tins and foil.
I also created a booklet which came with these bins which had puzzles and games in to make it an easy and fun learning experience for children. Giving these character a personality makes them more relatable and helps the children engage more in the issues behind recycling. Teaching them this at a young age will make the solutions to this problem more aware.
