Bin writing session

With Basker, Pankaj and new bins
New Rubbish Bins

After our pick up rubbish day we were having chai and decided that Assi Ghat needed new rubbish bins. The old one was in bits and the cardboard box rubbish bin by the chai shop was hardly being used. The lads figure that if Assi ghat had nice new bins then people may, just may, take a bit more interest in not littering. So we clubbed together and bough 5 blue plastic bins and spent the rest of the day writing in red USE ME  and the same in Hindi on the side of each bin.We even put some drawings of cups and bags on the bins for those who are illiterate. Let's see will see if they get used or not but with the lads trying to teach by example and instill in the locals some pride in their ghat, it may work. Fingers crossed.
