Cigarette bin initiative
OFFICERS from the British Transport Police and the city council's environmental wardens are joining forces as part of a new anti-litter initiative.
They will be handing out free "mini-bins" for smokers and giving advice to commuters at Haymarket station.
The new bins aim to encourage people to dispose of matches, cigarette ends and packets properly rather than throwing them on to the street.
Last year, a week-long anti-cigarette litter scheme on Rose Street led to a 70 per cent decrease in cigarette litter.
