While on a recent bin spotting trip to California, I chanced upon this knowing little ash/trash hybrid in Los Angeles' Grand Central station. Paradoxically, the bin was manufactured to include both a 'no-smoking' symbol and an ashtray, and was installed in the terminal's designated outdoor smoking area!!!
Clearly the product of a sarcastic mind, closer inspection revealed the dry-witted bin was designed by United Receptacle as part of their Howard Aspen 201 series. Further features of this sardonic 12 gallon disposal point included a four-way waste opening (one side absurdly inaccessible) and a tactile desert stone finish.
Whoever said Americans don't understand irony has clearly never seen a Howard bin!!!
