green ‘bin’ trial

July 15th, 2009 by Bryan

There is always room for improvement. Case in point; the original curbside recycling bins used across the island (save for the monsters used in the burbs…more on this later). A trial of 5000 newly designed laundry baskets recycling bins will be tested/abused over the next little while in an effort to hopefully improve the design and work out the kinks.

Several blue collar workers provide some deep thoughts on where they believe these new bins will fail.  Either that or they’ll just throw the whole thing out when they collect the first few weeks.

Pros: less crap drifting through the streets on windy days

Cons: they look pretty feeble

    Pros is good enough to keep it. As said, there will always be a room for improvement, right?

    I like the fact that it’s bigger than the green box….we gotta start somewhere
