There’s no doubt that the hundreds of wheeled trash bins that dot every neighborhood are eyesores. After all, they’re meant to hold trash, not look good, right? Cow took the brutal bins in their collective hands and organized a guerrilla beautification campaign in Woodstock, Cape Town. Five trash bins were taken from random addresses, and each one was given to a different design agency for a vinyl makeover.

Five random addresses in Woodstock were selected. Designers were briefed to use the bin as a canvas but to take into consideration the context of its surroundings as well. Am I Collective, Cow, Kronk, The President and Room 13 were the five agencies that got involved. Once the designs were completed, bespoke vinyls were printed. The selected bins were abducted, the vinyls applied and the transformed bins were returned to their homes. (psfk)
