A few years ago, fed up with the lack of recycling options on my street, I took a proactive approach and installed some Bin Bypass units to help can collectors. A bit of mid-30s punk, as my partner called it. From those very non-legit early days, we are now rolling out a bunch of these across your city over the next few months as a verified social enterprise keen to divert containers and help collectors.
That said, I have a number of our 100% recycled plastic Bin Bypass units sitting my warehouse, made from waste to prevent waste. If you would like one for your front fence, let me know. I would love to send you a unit, free of charge.

This is awesome OP, great work. We leave all our bottles and cans in a box next to our bin each week to make it easier for those that want to collect them for the container deposit refund – so it looks like we’re on the same page here!
This is cool. When I lived in Berlin a long time ago it was understood and expected that you wouldn’t throw cans and bottles in the bin, but rather place them next to the bin.
This is awesome. Legend!
I dont really get this, you can put 6 bottles on the side, then what happens?
People just put the rubbish in the recycling bin?
Those units compact the waste don’t they? Bit risky digging through a trash compactor for 10c cans.
Good idea with the bypass unit
[we already have baskets that can fit more than 6](https://cdsvic.org.au/bin-baskets)
Awesome stuff!!
A lot of councils are already doing this but putting crates next to them so more then 6 can be placed next to the bin.
Good initiative but it already exists.
Amazing. Love it!
