MMS pics of your dirty bins to Channel 4
Link: Channel 4 Dispatches’ Binwatch: Send pictures of your bins
Just got a tip from Alfie at Moblog about his new project with Channel 4’s popular current affairs programme Dispatches. They’re looking after a special moblog for a forthcoming documentary called ‘Bin Wars’, which is due to air on Channel 4 at 8pm on Monday May 24th.
Binwatch wants to see your bins! Are they overflowing with rubbish? Attracting local vermin? Or perhaps the new system is resulting in a greener approach to your rubbish disposal.
Posting to this moblog is simple, simply send an MMS containing an image or video to 07725202020 with your message and the word bin at the start of the message, then more info about your bin such as where it is located in the UK, how smelly is it, etc.
Complaints about bin collections? Well I never. My local refuse operatives (as they’re apparently called nowadays) didn’t turn up on Friday because there was a bank holiday last week, and then didn’t appear on Saturday either because of the wrong kind of rain.. or something like that.
Come on, what are you waiting for? Get snapping, texting and MMSing pictures of your bins 
excellent use of MMS by the Moblog guys. This reminds me of a service we’ve been running at iTAGG for almost 2 years; which allows a local council to let residents MMS in photos of burned out cars to our 60300 shortcode. The pictures are forwarded to the relevant council department so that a team can go out and investigate/tow them away.
