From a nation’s collective boredom, a lighthearted trend has been born with people dressing up in order to take their bins out.
Queenslander Danielle Askew, dared her friend to dress up while taking the bins out, as a quick joke. Ms Askew then created the Facebook Page: ‘Bin Isolation Outing’, where several Aussies posted pictures of themselves taking the bins out in costumes.
