BACK TO NICARAGUA. And what a beauty this is. A bamboo clad twin-set. Romantic stuff from Rob.

1/2: Summit of Volcan Mombacho, Nicragua

TOKYO. It's been a while. We like that bins can be a rarity there. So hi-viz jackets off to Morts for spotting this shy number to the side of the (frankly ubiquitous) vending machine.

FILE THIS IN 'TKO: TRASH KNOCK OUTS'

IS THIS THE MOST SUBVERSIVE SIGN IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING?

Q: HAS THE WORLD GONE ENTIRELY MAD?

A: yes.

GUATAPE FORTNIGHT COMES TO A CLOSE with this wonderfully energetic composition. Some would say the green bin hanging from a lamp post is an after thought. Some would say it's modestly understated.... what do you think?

MAKE THAT GUATAPE FORTNIGHT.

"This gentleman likes bins so much he appears to be enjoying his proximity to one a little too much," says Rob from far, far away.

Nowt wrong with liking bins a little too much.

IT'S GUATAPE WEEK ON BIN AROUND THE WORLD. First up:

"This ornate example is in the colourful town of Guatape, Colombia," says our globetrotting bin spotter, Rob.

We believe this is the most delicate bin we've seen. Do you know different? If so, send visual proof to BINAROUNDTHEWORLDD@gmail.com

A good week to all our readers.

PERU. Taking recycling seriously, even in the most arid conditions. Good to see.

"R2D2 is holidaying in Huacachina, Peru," says Rob. He's still out there, sourcing the finest bins in the world, just for you.

Our sincerest apologies for missing an entire week. What with the government talking about weekly bin collections we got all in a two and eight and decided to take the week off.

Good weather ain't it? The sort where you'd like to go down to Brighton and lie on the beach. Whilst there, look out for this bizarre bit of bin signage. Health and safety gone mad.
