Passersby in Preston are quizzed on their recycling habits at home, with some admitting they often don't put things in the right bin - only to be told off later by their partner.
One lady even called out her husband and said she always airs on the side of caution, which is something he never typically does.
It comes as a study revealed putting things in the wrong bin, not washing plastic containers out and leaving empty toilet rolls in the bathroom are among the biggest recycling disagreements between partners.
The poll of 2,000 co-habiting couples found they regularly fall out over household chores, including cooking (27 per cent), laundry (22 per cent) and taking the rubbish out (18 per cent).
It was commissioned by Every Can Counts which partnered with artist, Shawn Sharpe, to display an art installation in the area made from 700 recycled cans - to inspire people to recycle their empty cans and foil.
Chris Latham-Warde, programme manager for the non-profitable organisation, said: “There is lots to remember when it comes to recycling, including what goes in each coloured bin and which day to put the bin out."

00:00The nation is divided when it comes to recycling, so today we're at the annual
00:05egg rolling event in Preston to put quarrels aside and to get everyone on the same page.
00:09Three, two, one,
00:12We all do recycling don't we? We all line it up on the side and then we put it in the right bins ready for the bin bin to come.
00:36I'm bad for putting things in the wrong bin and then I get told off all the time.
00:40I'll probably err on the side of caution more than my husband would.
00:43If you've got the right bin for the right thing there's quite an easy task.
00:45Some things are very confusing and not clear on packaging.
00:49I'll tend to check and if it says recycle at the supermarket I'll just put it in the normal bin.
00:54Some councils recycle them, some don't.
01:00We're here today to inspire people in Preston to recycle their empty cans and also recycle their foil.
01:05Recycling is important to every can counts because drink cans are made from aluminium
01:09which is a permanent material is endlessly recyclable so we're encouraging residents to
01:14put that packaging in the right bin and we're doing that with our art installation the canvas
01:18which is made from 700 recycled cans and is being painted by Sean Sharp today.
01:22It's not bungee is it?
01:24I think it's really cute.
01:26It's impressive it makes a statement and I think it's really important that we educate more people.
01:30That's why we're going to look after the earth to make it happy.
01:32I agree.
