I have been pondering this question for some time, my apologies for the delay. Plus, I was gathering up the visual aids.
Recycle bins are certainly not appropriate fodder for landfills (most things aren't, I'd say) so the question is indeed a valid one. Furthermore, since they are constructed of a sturdy plastic they will not break down. They also have a recycling symbol (
), therefore it is reasonable to assume that their eventual fate is to be recycled, like their karma would dictate.
However, as anyone who has attempted to throw out a trash can knows, garbage collectors often are baffled when you attempt to discard an actual vehicle for discards. Hence you will need to disguise the recycle bin if you wish to recycle it. An appropriate disguise for a recycling bin should include a hat and Groucho glasses:
Hats can only start with the letters "f":
fez: (
or fedora:
or "t": toque:
, tam
or trilby
will do.
No sombreros (sorry)! Tinfoil is fine.
Additional clothing is acceptable but eventually you may just end up with a huge pile of clothes at your curb on Trash Day, so take it easy on the shiny green gym shorts from the '70s or anything else you might feel like adding.
May an owl carry your lunch for you.
