Innovative cigarette bins installed in a trendy Manchester square have gained the nod of approval from M.E.N. readers.
The four ‘ballot bins’, which are fixed to streetlights in Cutting Room Square, Ancoats, allow smokers to vote with their butts. Each bin contains two options, with officials able to ask smokers a question — so they can ‘vote’ by depositing their used-up cig.
In Ancoats, smokers have been asked for their opinions on Marmite, and Tom Hardy becoming James Bond. Fittingly, a bin outside Halle St Peters asks if they prefer playing air guitar or air drums, while another outside Rudy’s pizzeria asks if they think it’s acceptable to put pineapple on pizza.
