Say whattt?
I’m not crazy. As a part of the Street Department’s UnLitter Us movement, Litter Critter BigBelly trash compactors were designed and painted by artists & students as a part of Mural Arts’ Big Picture Program in part to celebrate Earth Month. The decorated BigBellies were painted to encourage people to use sustainable trash cans and not litter. This same campaign painted the recycle trucks last year.
These new designs lining South Street showcase creative designs inspired by “litter bugs”. Artists Ben Woodward & Thom Lessner from the Philadelphia collective space 1026 collaborated with Big Picture (Kids aged 10-14 get mural training & visual arts education) students to design the concept and creations.
Here are some of the creations:
and a painted Mural Arts recycle truck to remind of us of a green goal:
