People have been trash-talking New York after they finally discover wheelie bins – 15 funny favourites
Minds are being thoroughly blown by the revelation that New York is only just joining the wheelie bin revolution, and has announced it like it’s the best thing since sliced bread – which we presume they’ll be getting next year.
New York-based journalist Liam Quigley shared how the Mayor, Eric Adams, unveiled the innovation.

In my head, America is a land of advanced technology. In reality, they need press conferences to explain bins https://t.co/ZSJTvgQom0

We regret to report that Jim Strabo is absolutely correct. They’re going to need a lot of bins.
