Most of us go out in public every day of our lives; going to work, school, the shops, or even just taking the dog for his evening stroll. We see things such as cars, other people, gardens and lampposts, but it is amazing how much of this we don't really take in. Commonplace items such as wheelie bins and trees are just there; we accept them unquestioningly and continue to go past without even sparing them a moment's thought. However, if these items were to go missing or no longer be used, can you imagine the chaos that could ensure?

For example, wheelie bins provide an essential service; holding our waste. If that waste were to be left uncontained, rats and mice would run amok, the smell would be disgusting and the streets would look untidy and even become a health hazard. But, the humble wheelie bin continues to provide such a service, so we don't have these problems.

Wheelie bins don't only hold household waste, however. The government's scheme for improved recycling has seen the advent of the grey bin; this is purely for green waste such as grass cuttings, paper and leaves. The black bin used to be seen as general ...
... purpose, but this now is reserved for waste other than that mentioned above. Additionally, wheelie bins are used in many commercial environments; offices, shops and eateries all produce a lot of excess waste and this has to go somewhere until collected by the dustbin lorries. Wheelie bins used in commercial environments tend to be tougher and heavy duty, due to the amount of waste they have to hold.

Wheelie bins don't only make the lives easier of the general public; those whose job it is to pick up the waste and take it to the local tip can use the handles and wheels to move the bin, and don't have to touch the material inside at all with their hands.

So, wheelie bins are not the most attractive of common items to go near, but they do an essential job, and they do it will. There have been many accessories for wheelie bins made, such as bags to line the inside, clips to hold the lid shut even more firmly and foot pedal openers that mean they are easier for those who may be disabled to use them. As vital we keep our waste contained and not on the streets, it is easy to see why wheelie bins are so important.

It is possible to buy replacement bins should one become damaged or not work in any way. Some youths may find it funny at times to steal such bins, so again, in this case, replacement bins can be purchased. Many retailers sell wheelie bins, so be sure to shop around and get the best prices before making a purchase. In the domestic household it may be possible to get a new bin from the council should one be needed, but commercial environments definitely need to take this into account.
