The Cigarette Slide

The Cigarette Slide is a Cigarette disposal station that encourages people to properly dispose of their cigarette butts. We surveyed 3 areas in Central Square and found that Graffiti Alley had 134 butts, a corner in central square itself had 120 butts, and the MBTA bus stop had 250 butts (covering roughly 5% of the ground). The slide would collect / and display the amount as data of how many are eliminated for being on the street. The data must be portrayed that way because the focus of the installation is to eliminate cigarette butt litter which means the installation and the data cannot be alienating to smokers because then they would not use it.
