I rather like that, I wonder where the cheapest place here to get one of those latches would be ?

 

I think they are around £8 on Ebay.

 

 

Now we just need something to hold the lid down well at the front, and keep the bottom of the bin in place.

 

It's sounding like it will have to be something more like one of these to solve that issue:

Though I reckon they have the doors on the wrong side !

As the handles are going to not be at the front otherwise.

And probably sliding doors, or the wind will take them off !

Thinking about this more, it could also do with a manual foot operated treadle like mechanism to open the bin lid, as your hands will be full with rubbish..

You could knock up something similar to the picture using old pallets..  If we have to re-cycle, let's do it properly..

Perhaps we could make them out of recycled glass, as don't we have a lot of that sitting around.

Maybe they could start making glass Lego like bricks and we could build all manner of things..

I think they are being sold for $1 a piece last time I heard.

Then maybe we could do the same when we start building our tunnels . . .
