Winchester Wheelie Bin A giant wheeled bin where children can "shop" for environmentally friendly products has been unveiled in Winchester. The 3.5 metre walk-in bin is designed like an aisle in a supermarket, and will see children aged five to 18 using hand held bar code scanners to find out what happens when their household rubbish is recycled. Winchester is working as part of Project Integra, Hampshire's waste management partnership, which includes Hampshire County Council and Onyx subsidiary Hampshire Waste Services. Children from Padnell Junior School, Cowplain, officially opened the wheel-bin this week. Project Integra chair, councillor Roland Dibbs said: "This exciting new exhibit gives a new and innovative platform for promoting waste awareness to Hampshire's young generation. Children are a very important audience during the challenging times we have ahead of us as we face up to the government's targets to improve our recycling rates to above 40 per cent."
