The
official definition of a wheelie bin is a rectangular box on wheels which
is made from polythene or steel and designed to be emptied mechanically.
It is also designed to be safer for the bin men as sharp objects are contained
within the bin. (Definition [revised] from the Wikipedia).
As the ancestor of the Wheelie Bin is the Dumpster, invented by an American, George Dempster, it should be given it's proper name - The Mobile Garbage Bin - That would make our Wheelie Bin Covers - Mobile Garbage Bin Covers?
I
personally disagree with the English spelling of Wheelie Bin. I think
we should spell it "Wheely Bin". Taking the definition of Wheelie in this
case to be "wheeled" - or "having wheels", I would have thought that this
would be spelt "wheely" leaving the other spelling to riding on one wheel
on a two wheeled vehicle.
So maybe we should call our Wheelie Bin Covers - Wheely Bin Covers?
The actual definition from the amazing wikipedia is given below in full:
George
Dempster invented the Dempster-Dumpster system in the 1930s for automatically
loading the contents of standardised mobile steel containers onto the
dustcart. This led to the classic Dempster Dumpmaster dustcart of the
1950s, but wheelie bins did not become commonplace until the 1970s.
The term dumpster is frequently used as a generic term for a large MGB in the United States. The smaller wheelie bins, (which look much better with Wheelie Bin Covers) for domestic or light commercial use, typically hold 120, 240 or 360 litres, with 240 litres being the most common.
They
have a hinged flap lid and two wheels on the bottom on the same side as
the lid hinge. There is a bar behind the hinge on the top of the bin which
is used to move it. The 240 litre bin is usually considered to have the
same capacity as three traditional dustbins. The dimensions of these bins
vary with manufacturer and standard, but is roughly: * 120 litres - 93
cm high, 48 cm wide, 52.5 cm deep * 240 litres - 107 cm high, 58 cm wide,
74 cm deep * 360 litres - 110 cm high, 62 cm wide, 86 cm deep.
These bins are usually black or green, but other colours include brown, grey and red. Frequently several different coloured bins are provided for different types of waste so that it may be recycled — for example garden waste, plastics and metal. Sometimes the term wheelie bin is taken to cover these smaller bins and not their four-wheeled cousins.The Wheelie Bin Covers leave the lid uncovered so they are still easily identified by the local Council.
