The result show there are 14 bins on Clifton Street, which equals to one bin every 30 metres, eight bins on Albany Road, or one bin every 62 metres, and only 10 bins on City Road, about one bin every 95 metres.<br \/>\nLuke Rice, Cynefin Cardiff Coordinator, said: \u201cThere are so many takeaways on City Road for so few bins. The problem is not the money involved but it is the effectiveness of the litter bin service and strategy.\u201d<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5683\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5683\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_084644-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5683 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_084644-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"20150310_084644 (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5683\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5683 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/cardiffian.jomec.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/20150310_084644-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"20150310_084644 (1)\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> The litter bin provisions in Cathays\u00a0are uneven<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nCynefin Cardiff has brought the issue forwards to Plasnewydd councillors Mohammed Javed and Mary McGarry who agreed to review the number and location of bins in the area.<br \/>\nCathays councillor Sam Knight also expressed an interest in the project and said: \u201cMapping where bins are placed and litter occurs could really help get the community involved in keeping our streets clean. However, this should work alongside and not replace the responsibility placed on takeaways to help keep their packaging off the streets.\u201d<br \/>\nIn Cathays, the litter bin provision is also unevenly located with six big black litter bins on Crwys Road and Salisbury Road but only two on Woodville Road and one on Cathays Terrace. Peter Osmond, who lives on Diana Street in Roath but works on Cathays Terrace, said: \u201cFrom my work to Diana street, there&#8217;s not a single bin. I like to eat a banana on my way home but I have to carry the peel all the way home.
