Can you say “One stop shopping”?
Your comment makes me wonder what sort of knives you would even find in there. Something tells me it’s a bin full of trash and crappy knives.
I would be inclined to dump animal feces in it.
I talked about this on my LJ a good while ago. A Re-did the post on my big-kid blog recently.

If you have some time, have a look at the interactive youtube video. Its a neat use of the medium, but it also shows what a scary police state the UK is. If you character minds his own business and stays out of trouble but manages to hold onto a knife (despite constant prompts to ditch it) the police will stop you and search your person without out a hint of probable cause and send you to jail.
I showed this clip to a person I know in the UK, and they told me that it’s totally legal there, and didn’t see what the big deal I was making about it…
Looks like we should send them a bunch of “A Nation Of Sheep” stickers for those bins.
How sad.
If any asks you what the difference between a Citizen and Subject is, show them this picture.
I like the two stickers which state, “Bin Weapons Here Only.”
So, they think that:
1. You’re carrying an illegal weapon
2. You’re just going to chuck it away
and
3. You’re going to be good enough to follow instructions
I always thought that not following instructions was part of a criminal’s job description.
Why I no longer add the “great” in “great britain” and no longer capitalize britain.
Ironically, someone carrying a weapon to that bin could be charged with carrying a weapon.
