Not sure about OS, but in Aus a recycling bin is green with yellow lid, a totally yellow bin is for clinical waste. A dark green bin would've suited the Landy much better and wouldn't have been so noticeable, either he wants to make it a feature or it's a case of necessity.

OK. So what's a brown bin for??

Doesn't seem to be used in Australia, but OS it is for organics, so green waste including food scraps.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the bin colour (and also the definition of what can be put in them) varies between states and council areas.

That was the case. Here in Vic they are all supposed to be brought into line apparently. Our council, maybe two years ago, spent who knows how much going around replacing the green lids on the general waste bins with red ones. On 2021 figures that's about 60,000 lids, provided each household has only one bin. Another consideration was that we have two different sizes of bin for general waste. Or, perhaps I should say 'had'. Wonder what they did with the 60,000 green lids.

Put them in the yellow (lidded) bin of course 🤪

A bit like the colour coding on handles at fuel bowsers varying between brands.

A mate who is a retired traffic engineer swore that there was a uniform colour code everywhere, which caused much mirth at beer o'clock after the weekly round of golf.

I've filled with 91 ULP from blue, red, yellow, green and even a black handle.

The place with the black handles had that colour on all the variations, with the details stamped in white.
