"BASURA BASURA! Ooh binman when you talk like that, you make me wanna bin bag, Sulo, no Biffa - BASURA BASURA!"

(Sing this to the tune of that Shakira song, your colleagues'll love it.)

HE CAN BE YOUR HERO BABY. HE CAN KISS AWAY THE PAIN - with bins. What are we on about? Who can this maverick be? Only Rob aka Osama Binman Laden. He's got his eye out for any tasty garbage cans, poubelles, rubbish bins... this one is from Flores which is in Guatemala. They speak Spanish or Mayan there. Sadly we only know the former. File this one with the other cubo de la basuras. Cheers. Keep it tropical.

TERRIBLY SAD THIS. Spotted on the street round the back of the Dominion Theatre in the heart of London. This handsome green bin's seen better days. Let's hope he's back in action soon.

PART TWO OF GEORDIE BIN WEEK HERE ON BATW. Nice minimalist composition this one. Again, from Rebecca G-H.

Sleek visual contrast, nice shadow. 10/10.

This week is Geordie Bin Week. Just wait til the national press catch on, it'll be mental.

For now, enjoy these from Rebecca G-H. She had the following to say about them:

"Think I got a bit excited about any bins, so won't be offended if you don't use them. The beach bin was my favourite.I liked the red metal, with the red life ring."
We concur. Nice ring action.
