Although an intrinsic part of our everyday routines, the dustbin's role as a mediator of changing waste practices has rarely been considered. As bins become reconfigured as environmental technologies for contemporary recycling programmes, is argued that they provide a revealing indicator of new waste relationships in society. These emerging relationships are explored by tracing through a number of past and present bin technologies, showing how they represent changing waste meanings, practices and responsibilities. The future of the bin and how adopting a bin‐centred approach can help researchers and planners reconceptualize waste ‘problems’ and so reconsider waste management strategies are speculated upon.
While putting all municipal solid waste in one container leaves the control of their management to the waste services (Figure 1a), recycling bins shift some control to households ( Figure 1b); they undoubtedly represent a visual reminder of our environmental responsibility. Their development and introduction in quotidian life has contributed to a reconsideration of waste management, changing waste practices, modifying behaviour, shifting the boundaries between private individual and public collective effort, and assisting in changing environmental ethics
It is placed out of sight within hidden spaces and opaque bins in the private spaces of the home, and then moved to the curbside where it is entrusted to the public sphere and the responsibility of municipal authorities. Waste therefore represents a symbolic boundary between the public and private spheres, and it embodies the relationship between individuals and the collective (Chappells and Shove, 1999). Bulkeley and Askins (2009) argue that there is insufficient academic attention to the boundaries between public and private aspects of the waste management system, and that the discursive propagation of such boundaries allows individuals to absolve themselves of responsibility and concern for waste matters, implying a systemic ambiguity of moral responsibility for waste and its impacts.
