Sounds more like a project for the guy who made the wind up radio to me.

Also what about some proper matching interlocking bins that can form the
boundary fence of a property and can be filled from inside and emptied from
outside without having to detach the bin itself. this would get over the
huge issue of bins and bags strewn all over the footway and gardens after
the truck goes by.


One of the councils around here requires the bins to be placed on the
kerb, hinge to the road. The lorry drives up alongside the bins, picks
them up with a side loading device, then puts them back where they were
after emptying them. The operators don't even get out of the lorry.
