This is the picture of upside down dustbins outside Patiala House, New Delhi. I think its near Gate#4 which is quite close to India Gate which probably teh cleanest public place in capital and Patiala House is the court complex where criminal cases are discussedto arrive at justice. Outside the gate, you see these two colored Green & Blue dustbins placed by New Delhi by concerned authrities. Now you can see how one can really use these dustbins as they are upside down and the very purpose of dustbins is lost. I had to mee a friend of mine for some legal matter and just passed through this site. i could not stop myself and took a picture. later, on way back, i was thinking that efforts by the government are not meeting the purpose and probablt these dustbins are not practical to handle to empty. They need to be locked below so that these do not turn upside down.
While thinking about it, I think we at packaging can offer a solution. The solution could be that collapsible & disposable biodegradable boxes are kept here. Those boxes can be picked up by the concerned team and replaced everyday by the new ones. So they do not have to deal with emptying them, They can just pick them, carry them and dump at the appropriate places nicely without worrying about dealing so much with the filth. Its the great job they do for the society, let us think of giving them some breather!
