These playful floor stickers made me chuckle. It’s an initiative by the city of Lucerne (Switzerland) to get people to notice and use garbage cans. What a fun idea! Hat tip!

  2. So much fun. Hopscotch and basketball take the biscuit.

  3. Creative way to use garbage cans, i already hear parents saying “how often did i told you not to play at the garbage cans!”.Nice!

    Basketball net meets trashcan. They’re usually placed at crossings, next to the traffic light.

  5. OR they can be like korea and not have trash cans anywhere, so people are constantly looking for one..

  9. Hahaha, I love it. Anything that injects a bit of fun and spontaneity into the daily routine is a good thing, as far as I am concerned. Guy Debord and the rest of the Situationists would be proud; “Live without dead time,” wasn’t it?

  11. this is SO fun!! how great would it be to look around and see people of all ages playing games on their way to work, the grocery store, school, etc. interactive design love.
