Sorry, bin away. We'll try and get back to regular rounds asap. For now, here's some fresh poubelle news from France.

The French urban interventionist (if that’s a profession) The Wa has transformed a traffic sign in Marseille into a basketball waste bin. Passers-by can dump their rubbish here, but have to produce a lay-up, dunk or try it for three points. The installation seems to work, as the net of the basket is filled to the brim with Marseilles rubbish.

BATW says, all well and good but my French grandmere is never going to reach that.
