Litter Arcade

Three arcade machines sit in a white tiled floor space. In the centre the arcade machine is built around a gazebo with a green roof, on the left there is an arcade machine that mimics a 2p machine, and on the right is an arcade machine that have two channels that cross over.

Our Litter Arcade invites playful conversations about recycling and litter… whilst also offering some arcade fun and encouragement to collect nearby litter. The arcade pilot was launched at events in 2022.

We want to create opportunities to create playful interactions around the idea of waste being precious. Given that our Great Yarmouth workshop is a short walk from an amusement arcade mecca… taking inspiration from the arcade machines of Yarmouth felt like the natural thing to explore.

But does it work? We decided to spend 2022 piloting the idea and pondering potential plans for a proper Arcade offer in 2023. We launched the pilot of the arcade at First Light Festival in Lowestoft on 18-19 June 2022. This first appearance was a success and so we then did a public consultation at PRIMEYARC and a further pilot at East Point Pavilion’s beer festival.
