This gruesome bin spot was sent in by Miles from Birmingham. The sighting depicts a clinical waste container in traditional hazard yellow. Bins of this colour often house substances that pose a threat to human health, so it's good to see a lockable drop-down front for secure storage and safer removal of contents.
Unusually, this bin was spotted not outside a hospital or round the back of a doctors' surgery but in a busy city centre!!!
Although this example suffers from an accumulation of street grime, it still carries all the important markings which typify the breed. The most striking of these is the internationally recognised Biohazard symbol, developed in 1966 and later appropriated by the rap-metal band of the same name and people with HIV.
