WE DON'T USUALLY ACCEPT IMAGES SOURCED FROM THE INTERNET BUT... this one came from a new source - 'Andy'. And we like the graphic on this one. And the kinda minty colour. It's in Singapore. Rubbish bin in Malay is tong sampah.

CU on Thu. Cheers.

MODERN ART IS RUBBISH. That's what Blur once wrote on an album cover (CORRECTION: It was MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH, thanks Ben - glad to know someone's paying attention.) This guy, George Shaw, certainly thinks so... or not? I don't really know. I find it confusing. Apparently he paints in Humbrol enamels. Good effort fella.

Cheers to J. Foreman of Tyneside for this spot.

If you, dear reader, have any other images of fine art bins, please do send them our way. We love a bit of culture round these parts.

CHEERS.

SORRY. WE'VE BEEN AWAY FOR THE LAST WEEK. BIN HANVIN' A NIGHTMATE (TERRY'S PORK PIE WAS STOLEN BY ONE OF THE NEW LADS.)

ANYWAY, WE ARE POSTING BINS FROM LONDON AND THE SURROUNDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. (IE, TIL WE GO ON HOLS AGAIN.)

Hope this is ok. THE BINMEN.

PS. Today's transparent liner is in Charlton, SE7. They look like some perfectly edible chips to me.

THE LAST POST FROM STOCKHOLM

A sad day here as we bid farewell to the papperskorgen cans of Stockholm. Thanks for having us Swedes. Say hi to Tomas Brolin for us yeah?

ps. We're running low on bins so if you want your local cans featured then send them our way:

STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE, SUNSHINE.

That's what the Swedes appear to be saying with this bit of signage anyway.

søppelbøtte søppelbøtte søppelbøtte : that's rubbish bin (x 3, obviously) in Norwegian. Looks like a nice word don't it?

Thanks to Romy for these delightful portrait pics. From the looks of things the Norway boys are doing a good job - barely a bit of protruding litter in sight.
