Pink gum bins, introduced as a means of recycling chewing gum, have been removed from Horsham town centre after less than three months.

Horsham District Council has confirmed that the bins, installed in August and costing £216 in total, ‘weren’t being used sufficiently’, and the project has been scrapped.

The ‘Gumdrop’ bins have been pulled halfway through a six month trial.
