00:00My name's Andy, we're in the middle of Congleton. This is the bins of Congleton
00:09calendar. Since the start of the year I've been photographing and rating all
00:14of the bins around the area. Up to 130 so far. It just seemed too good of an
00:20opportunity not to pick 12 of the best and put them in this lovely glossy A3
00:25calendar. So that's exactly what we've done and I just hope people like it. So
00:29yeah let me show you around, take you on a bit of a tour of some of the bins
00:32featured inside the calendar which is on sale now. It's all for charity as well.
00:38Just find us on Instagram and a quick search for bins of Congleton should lead
00:43you to the calendar. So over the course of the past 10 months or so, since the
00:47start of the year, I've photographed and rated over 130 bins. Obviously there's
00:52room for 12 bins in the calendar so this is one of the unfortunate victims
00:57that didn't make it into the calendar. Nickname Bin Kingsley. I think it goes
01:03without saying the gravitas that the bin brings. Very much one-of-a-kind but
01:08unfortunately just doesn't really have the cutting edge to to make the pages of
01:12the calendar. We scored this 17 out of 25.
01:18So this particular bin has the nickname of Taylor Swift because if you look here
01:241989 is when the bin was installed which is also the name of a Taylor Swift
01:29album and it scores really highly on the bins of Congleton calendar. It's gracing
01:35the month of December. Personality 5 out of 5. You can't argue with it really. It's a
01:40strong octagonal structure. Pristine only 3 out of 5. It could be cleaner. There's a
01:44little bit of paint missing. It's in a really good place here near the
01:48open-air bus station. It's a popular bin. Empty today but usually well used but it
01:53performs really well. It's open top so litter could blow away but actually it's
01:57quite well sheltered. So overall 20 out of 25.
02:04There's another bin here. You'll like this. You'll like this one. It's bang in the middle of
02:09the town centre in the main pedestrianised street. This is Binderella.
02:12Bit of a sign of the times. You've got all your vape tansy. It's been cleaned up a
02:16little bit. Usually it's covered in them but you can still see that. Little town
02:20big heart which is very much the slogan of the town. It's well used. Dividing the
02:24litter to the recycling which is obviously never a bad thing. This bin
02:27scoring 22 out of 25. So pretty impressive. It shines a light on the town
02:34but also these little nuggets, these bins that I think do give the place a sense
02:38of character, a sense of humour, a sense of charm and just make it a little bit
02:42different.
02:50you
