I dont know if I read it on line, or in the information that came through the post, but you can do whatever you like with it, it just will not be emptied if you still use it.

It has been suggested that they could be used for growing potatoes but you would have to drill holes in them.

place them in the car boot and use them to store things in. I have one in the boot and then when i go shopping the big things go back in to the trolley and then in to the box in my car, saves on carriers

Unfortunately we are still using ours !!
Having been on holiday, when the rest of the street road had their's delivered, for some unknown reason we failed to receive the new bins.
The council has been contacted, but as yet, of this morning anyway, no bins have been delivered.
