Unclicked: four interlinked bins in Egmore subjected to a starvation diet
The Hindu
On Adithanar Salai in Pudupet, Egmore sit four bins that look sparkling clean, are noticeably of recent deployment and visibly starved of garbage. This section of the road finds itself reluctantly hosting tempo travellers and other big-sized vehicles, and there is a likelihood of a humungous vehicle blocking the bins’ view, but that would make little difference. The public is unlikely to miss them, as evidenced by where they prefer to dump the waste. There is plenty of garbage, dry and wet around the bins not in them. Much of the garbage lies tantalisingly close to their expectant mouths.
