Painted Bins
Art has a way of inspiring thought and emotion and beautifying things that may not be otherwise. Such as composting bins. With its messaging, it also has the power to inspire change – and that’s exactly what Painted Bins set out to do.
Painted Bins have been designed to make disposing food scraps easy, fun and educational. The bins – which have been installed in public spaces and parks in and around the San Francisco Bay area – feature the art of local school children and their views on how composting can save the earth.
The bins are all equipped with QR codes, which allow people to learn more about the dangers of food scraps ending up on landfills and emitting greenhouse gases.
Founded by Kathy Huber, the non-profit organization aims to build environmental stewards by offering the Painted Bins program to local schools as part of an important curriculum: taking care of the earth.
Sustainable Digital very much enjoyed working on this project and seeing it come to life!
