A university student built and installed a bin bag dispenser in a park where crowds left stacks of rubbish.
Piles of litter were strewn across Woodhouse Moor, in Hyde Park, Leeds, last week as groups gathered amid warm weather and the easing of lockdown measures.He said he hoped his creation would help people to keep the park tidy.Leeds Beckett University student Mr Colmer, who is from Newcastle, said: "After the images were released of Hyde Park and the mess it just annoyed me because I try and clean up after myself.
"I do a lot of DIY and building in my spare time as a hobby so I just started putting something together, making it up as I went along, and it eventually ended up as a bin bag dispenser."I genuinely believe that people don't want to litter but they never really have the supplies or the bin bags there on the day to do it so, hopefully, this will encourage people to go grab a bag and pick their stuff up.
Mr Colmer said he had received lots of positive messages since he installed the dispenser, with one local bar even offering him a tab which he said he was looking forward to spending once pubs reopen. He also said he hoped his efforts would help remove the "bad image" surrounding students and littering.
Dirty Leeds
It's mad how people bring all their food and drink in BAGS yet find it impossible to put the rubbish from said food and drinks into that very same bag and simply take it home with them.
I love Hyde Park.
New way to tackler Hyde park litter - f..king pick up your shit and take it home!
Great piece of initiative. On the down side obviously not studying woodwork.
It is sad how much rubbish we found after just a couple of sunny days 😔
University education = bin bag dispenser.
Thank God for bringing bitcoin to man,it has being a great source of blessing to all of man kind who have passion for bitcoin trading. Now the poor are getting rich over night and the rich getting richer. SamuelEddy_5 thank you for your proper management .
If every body took the shit home we would not need bags.
And the students will use them as dresses and hats , that's the limit of a university education these days.
That will be OK until someone takes all the bags home for personal use.

Superb initiative! This person has not only defined the need but also provided the means to meet that need. Congratulations on that along with demonstrating to wayward collections of the public the need itself.
Well done him, drawing attention to the problem is/has got to be the first step.
Bigger bags for gluesniffers
And who's going to refill this dispenser? 🤔
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Only way to fix this countries littering problem is education and enforcement.
Does he realise most of them can't read?
Good for him, but better still--you brought the rubbish in, you can take it back out again. What, an hour in the sun renders you too weak to lift a paper bag?
Do you think the filthy unwashed, unemployed, unemployable yobs that litter these places are going to take any notice of this ?
Why is BBC news not reporting on Piers Morgan’s great effort to debunk the lies of Megan and Harry and why were not not involved from the start. This was a vile and malicious attack on Queen, Royalty and Country. What do I pay a license fee for, silence!!!
Bin bags for the Bawbags
Must be in his 2nd year, he spelt ‘Bin bags‘ correctly but without the space.
Well every time socialists need to revolt it seems there’s crap everywhere... it’s a strange little cult
