This wheelie bin did not wait for bin day, but hitched a ride instead. A photograph shared on a community WhatsApp group shows a motorcyclist towing a wheelie bin alongside his bike in Brakpan Central. The unusual sight caught the attention of residents, who were left wondering about the destination of both the rider and his unusual passenger. It remains unclear whether the bin was being delivered, collected or simply enjoying a ride. PHOTO: WhatsApp
