“We introduced GumTargets on a trial basis at one of the schools we manage to help us reduce chewing gum litter. We are very pleased with the results. The pupils really like them, they are getting lots of use and we have now extended the scheme into a number of other school sites.” Frazer Simpson – Carillion Service Solutions “The GumTargets have made such a difference to the village centre. The GumTargets are wonderful, absolutely marvellous. We are so pleased with how well they are working. Super!”
“The GumTargets are up and being well used by the students. They are helping reduce our gum litter problems”
“Have been using GumTargets all summer and have had quite a significant amount of success in that they have been used quite a bit."
“Initial Cleaning Services in partnership with Aviva's Waste policies have recently launched GumTargets as a way of combating littered chewing gum in their Call Centre Environments. The trial is progressing well, and we would be happy to roll this out to other locations in due course.”
“We are aiming to prevent chewing gum litter reaching the floor in the first place, by asking the students to put their gum on the GumTargets. By raising awareness of this problem we hope to continue to improve the high standards already set at Harrow College.”
'GumTargets have been a real success in Kingston upon Thames and are an innovative way of helping people to make the right choice of where to dispose of their gum.'
"It is fair to say that both the cleansing and grounds team and I have been amazed by the response to the GumTargets shown by the general public. We have placed approximately 70 targets in Coventry City Centre and each unit is being very well used. We are replacing the gum stickers every two or three days at some locations near fast food shops and the total usage by the public has been excellent."
"We had our first school litter sessions yesterday and the GumTargets were a great success."
"Our town centre is significantly cleaner since we introduced the GumTargets and it is pleasing to see schools embracing this scheme. Just one piece of chewing gum dropped on the ground costs an average of 30 pence to remove, so cleaning it up is an expensive business. Anything that can help reduces this problem while also promoting environmental awareness amongst young people is a valuable initiative."
"Thoughtlessly discarded gum disfigures many key thoroughfares, giving rise to nuisance and hygiene concerns. GumTargets have provided the necessary fun, incentive and information to encourage the public to dispose of their chewing gum responsibly and assist the Council in keeping our Town clean."
"The GumTarget Initiative works within our parameters of sustainability and litter reduction. We particularly liked the way the GumTargets fit into our street scene environment and the way in which the GumSheets actively encourage chewers to be responsible with their chewing gum."
'GumTargets have proven extremely popular here at the CLC@Brislington, with students, staff and visitors alike. We have noticed a significant drop in the amount of nuisance gum litter since we implemented the scheme.' Karen Langdon, Teacher
"Discarded chewing gum is considered by the public as one of the worst forms of litter. Irresponsible disposal of used chewing gum is having an impact on the appearance of our surroundings; it creates an impression of a poorly maintained space and generates unnecessarily expensive cleansing costs".
"I'm pleased to report that over the last three weeks, the GumTargets have been well used."
"Whilst the council takes pride in the appearance of its shared public spaces, the amount of gum littering these areas is a nuisance and offensive to many. It is also costing the council thousands of pounds to remove."
"It's no surprise that people get fed up of seeing chewing gum lying around the town; dropping it on the pavement is a filthy habit. It can stick to your clothes and shoes and costs the Council - and the tax payer - thousands of pounds to remove from the streets. One of our priorities is to tidy up the town and tackle litter, and through this GumTarget campaign people will have no excuse but to dispose of their gum responsibly."
"Since the initiative was launched we have noticed a direct reduction in the amount of chewing gum on the streets in the area where the GumTargets are located. We have also reduced the frequency of street cleansing and associated costs. Local support, including the media has been excellent and feedback from the public has been very positive. Overall we are extremely pleased with the GumTarget initiative and in view of this, have decided to continue with the scheme."
''Our City Centre is significantly cleaner since we introduced GumTarget. GumTarget provides a safe and effective means of gum disposal and also raises awareness of the problem with a local media campaign"
"When I first heard about GumTargets I thought they were a quirky idea but I hadn't realised quite what an impact they would have on the streets of Acton. 20,000 pieces of used chewing gum could now be sticking to residents' shoes and clothes, littering our pavements, and making the town look unsightly, but instead they have been quickly and easily removed and disposed of."
"The GumTarget initiative has done a wonderful job of raising the profile of gum, litter in the town. The public are now more aware of the issues surrounding gum disposal and a large volume of used gum is being collected by the GumTargets."
"We have tried several initiatives in Kirklees, such as providing 'gum bins'. While these have helped to some degree to reduce gum litter it is still a major problem on our streets. A large amount of chewing gum has been collected by the GumTargets, reducing the amount of carelessly discarded gum on the streets. Over time this will help us maintain the appearance of the town and reduce costs of specialist cleansing services."
"We are extremely encouraged by the early results of our GumTarget pilot sites. The public have demonstrated their acceptance of this method of disposal by depositing a large amount of gum on the conveniently located GumTargets."
"By passing the responsibility for disposal back to the chewer rather than simply clearing up their littered gum we will raise awareness of this problem and reduce the amount of gum deposits on the streets"
"We work hard to keep the town clean and tidy; we have recently put a huge effort into removing chewing gum deposits. This is expensive and time consuming'. He continued 'I was contacted by the girls who wanted to try to help make the town a cleaner place by reducing chewing gum litter. I thought this was a great idea and wanted to offer full support. It is great to see our young people taking such and interest in their environment"
"At first I was dubious as to how the GumTargets would be perceived, however they have proved to be a real success with shoppers and visitors to Plymouth City Centre. We are pleased to continue using the GumTargets in the future ."
"These GumTargets are about raising awareness as the gum is far better there than on the floor. Following their success in Wimbledon they have been introduced to Raynes Park, Morden and Mitcham."
'The GumTargets have been well used with a large amount of gum deposited on them'
"The GumTargets get to the cause of the problem, providing an attractive alternative to dropping used chewing gum. We're really excited about this new initiative. We have worked with Meteora Ltd to understand the reasons why people drop used chewing gum and to identify the worst affected areas."
"I'm really pleased with how well the GumTargets are working. The early results are really encouraging."
"Our town centre is significantly cleaner since we introduced the GumTargets and it is pleasing to see schools embracing this scheme.
