I keep seeing wheelie bins with leafy patterns on them that are obviously designed to make wheelie bins, especially blue ones, a little more discreet in the garden.

Are these stickers? Where can I buy one? Are they very naff?

I spotted some of these in Crystal Peaks but I wasn't tempted.You could always make one yourself Blue Peter style .... Using sticky back plastic or what about setting a trend and covering one in astro-turf, tin foil or fur? Lets all have a competition for the wackyiest bin!!!!!!

Don't camoflarge it too much otherwise the bin men might not see it when they're doing their rounds.

Hi.
I want one of these but £15-£20 seems very expensive.

I went into the tool shed in Meadowhall and they are £19.99

Surely ya can get them cheaper somewhere, anyone know where?

Thay usually sell anything you can buy on the highstreet and then some.

They are dreadful, especially when the corners come unstuck and they start to peel off.

the full ones are a bit expensive but they have some in poundland. like big tulip type flowers. or they have some with cats and dogs. not bad for £1.

Good point. I left my green bin out in front of a hedge and they missed it.
