Marianne Petit sent me these pictures of public recycling bins in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. They’re eye-catching, but I wonder how many people understand that they’re specifically recycling bins. I guess there’s a trade-off there — they may generate more mistakes, but if they collect more recyclable goods, the error is worthwhile. I like the fact that the opening is designed for can and bottle-sized things.
