The NYC has announced that Group Project is the winner of the BetterBin Competition, which called for designers to reimagine New York City's classic green, wire mesh waste basket. The two finalist each produced 12 prototypes that were tested in three NYC neighborhoods over a 90 day period. Based on the performance of those prototypes together with public response and feedback from Sanitation workers, a winner was chosen.
The new bin is designed to be lightweight, making it easier for workers to handle, and nests inside a durable stand. Group Project will continue to work with the Department of Sanitation to further develop the design and move towards mass production.
