Hey Mum! It's the dustbin men

Clockwise: The bins as they looked after they had emptied the green-top bin which holds normal (i.e. probably combustible refuse), but not the yellow-top re-cyclables. Then you have the bin-truck in all its functioning glory. Prepare. Tip. Release. You can see in the first picture that the other side of the street had their yellow-top emptied earlier than ours. They collected our side of the street quite late today and hence the photos. (Click on the photos for a larger view.)

At first I thought, "photos of bin lorries?" We've all seen bin lorries!
But those are very groovy. We have the same sort of bin out back, but it takes 3 or 4 dustbin men to empty them in the morning! I also rather like the fact that they're incinerating on the spot. I wonder how that is for emmissions, though?
