Re: Automated Bin - a more serious suggestion

["Mal Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I lived in the US, all the apartment buildings has these - much easier
than carting the rubbish down yourself.  However, the room at the bottom of
the chute would stink to high heaven, especially in summer.  It's probably
easier to hide that when you have a large apartment building, than in a
house.
