Here we have public place waste bins on a busy beach strip in Melbourne.
The bins are three meters apart, they are both identical, both very expensively manufactured, look quite new and what’s even more disturbing, they both call themselves ‘RUBBISH’ bins.

There is no way we can have any separation of waste using this system.
Either the council feels that everything that goes into these bins can be recycled or nothing that goes into these bins can be recycled.
I thought we had spent years establishing public place bin systems to encourage waste separation??
Have we given up?? What on earth is going on here??
I’d bet a gold plated wheelie bin that everything that goes into these two identical bins will end up in landfill.
Should anyone beg to differ I would certainly like to hear from them.
