A new campaign will force London litterbugs to look themselves straight in the eye when they discard their rubbish “carefully”.
The “careful littering” phenomenon is one you’ve probably have heard of – but now you think about it – are you guilty of it? The City of London’s clean-up crews have noticed an odd behaviour where Londoners appear to think if they place their cigarette butt, newspaper coffee cup, or sandwich wrapper very tidily on a ledge – it doesn’t really count.
And it appears there’s a lot of us doing it. The City of London Corporation’s environmental campaigns manager, Adam Collins, says in one year the council calculated an estimated six million cigarette butts discarded in the Square Mile financial district alone.
The Keep Britain Tidy campaign in partnership with the Corporation, is focused on “careful” littering in areas like Tube stations or in shops, and along streetside ledges.
“The main thing about this campaign that we’re trying to focus on is ledge, or what we call ‘careful’ littering. When people place something on a shelf they don’t necessarily think of themselves as ‘littering’, as they do it so carefully,” Mr Collins said.
The campaign will see mirrors put up around London’s financial district, the Square Mile, in known grot-spots bearing the tag-line: “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, litter left here reflects badly on us all.”
Mr Collins said the Corporation spends a lot of time and money keeping the Square Mile clean, and with 400,000 people passing through the tiny financial district every day – it only takes a small number to trash the streets.
“It actually really changes people’s perceptions of the area of not being clean. It only takes a tiny minority – a half a percent – to leave a coffee cup,” he said.
The campaign is designed to tap into the selfie age where “image is everything”, by trying to drive home to people that in today’s increasingly environmentally-conscious age, littering can actually have a negative impact on what others think of you.
The mirrors will be in litter hotspots, Moorgate, outside Metropolitan University, the Royal Exchange, and in an area of Cheapside near St Paul’s Station, from mid-January through February.
Port health and environmental committee members met this week welcomed the campaign, but some pointed out some Londoners might argue they litter because there were not enough bins in the central city.

Residents whose bins are overflowing after the collection disruption over Christmas should have some “social responsibility” and take rubbish to the tip themselves, according to the leader of Barking and Dagenham council.
The council has received numerous complaints about overflowing bins and missed collections after the festive period.
But council leader Darren Rodwell said the refuse team was doing the “best it can” while having to pick up more than twice the waste it usually does.
“I think the refuse workers did an incredible job over Christmas in difficult circumstances,” he said.
“They are doing the best they can. This week one of the rounds collected 28 tonnes of rubbish. That’s more than twice what they usually take and means several trips back and forth to the dump.
"I took nine bags to the tip myself. If you have a car and your bin is overflowing, instead of having ago have a go at us, have a bit of social responsibility and take it to the dump yourself for free.”
Parts of Euston Station were flooded earlier due to a burst water main, although no trains were disrupted.
Fire crews were called to the train station at 06:45 after the six inch main burst, flooding the first floor level to a depth of six inches and affecting seven platforms.
London Fire Brigade said rail staff managed to isolate the water supply and fire crews diverted the water flow to drainage before the problem could cause any disruption to rail services.
