Wheelie bin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This led to the classic Dempster Dumpmaster dustcart of the 1950s, but wheelie bins did not become commonplace until the 1970s. This is important for both the householder and the dustmen, who risked injury through lifting the traditional bin or from sharp, and frequently contaminated objects in rubbish bags. The bins only need to be wheeled to the dustcart where they are emptied by machinery. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mobile_garbage_bin   (575 words)

Dustcart Man Found Guilty (from This Is Local London) A dustcart driver who ploughed into a cemetery, demolishing 15 graves, was found guilty of dangerous driving this week.

CD REVIEW - Arkam Asylum–“Running With Scissors” : Legends Magazine, Issue 145 The larval stage of the dustcart is the wheelybin. The parent dustcart visits each of the larvae regularly where they are turned and fussed over by the attendant worker drones. On this album they appear to have progressed in a direction best described as 'unlikely.' Not that this is a collection of bangin' speed-garage floorfillers – though it would be more than a little entertaining to write the review as if it were. www.legendsmagazine.net /145/arkam.htm   (476 words)

Pete the Trucker: Class and Race   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) The dustcart job is proving to be a bit of a challenge. Talking to the Anglo-Indian chap who runs my local Internet café, he agreed completely that although he'd love to earn more driving a dustcart, his family insist he works with computers, and presumably he'd never take the risk of alienating his family or losing face or whatever it's called within his family's social group.

UK gov to moot electronic tagging of dustbins | The Register The dustcart itself is a smart one, capable of figuring out what kind of junk you've been junking (glass, tins, AOL CDs, nuclear waste and so on), so it can swiftly tally up the tab and the bill can be sent to the perp. Obviously you end up paying a more realistic cost for the disposal of the shedloads of crap you generate, and this realistic cost will no doubt include the vast expense of operative-proof hi-tech equipment in the dustcart. It will however be left to councils to decide whether to begin to charge for unsorted waste, although recent legislation already requires them to move towards sorting waste. www.theregister.com /2004/08/10/uk_gov_dustbin_tags   (574 words)
