OH MANCHESTER, SO MUCH TO ANSWER FOR. Such as; why have you locked this one bin away from its parents?

Thanks to Foreman for the spot in Fallowfields, Manchester

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.

THIS BIN SAYS ALL IT NEEDS TO: ENJOY IT, WRAP IT, BIN IT. Interesting that up north chewing gum is so popular that they have created specific bins to accommodate mastication prone locals' detritus.

Thanks to J Foreman for this one. Top lad.

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.

HAWAY THE LADS.

This composition was spotted by Mr. J. Foreman in Newcastle, the city that has more fun the colder it gets... or so it would seem.

It is certainly the best dressed bin we've seen in some time.

YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE.

You can almost smell the sweat of a miner this shot is so atmospheric. Back alley northern delight from Morts, cheers pal.

An afternoon treat, a real rare beauty this one... Thanks to James G for sending it our way, he was responsible for execution and delivery. Concept courtesy of Morts. The picture was taken at The Marlborough Social Club, Newcastle.
