Recycling… As easy as red. Yellow. Green!

Description:

The greyscale animation pans down from the sky passed trees and houses to reveal personified red, yellow and green bin characters in colour.

Description:

The brightness is decreased, and a spotlight appears on the green bin. The perspective zooms in on the green bin character.

Green Bin:

Hey dudes. See me? I like to keep things green! Both my lid and my waste. Nature is my true calling.

Description:

A brown flower appears in the air next to the green bin character. Followed by a lawn mower collector with grass clippings in it. Followed by a twig of leaves. Followed by two palm leaf fronds.

Green bin:

I love flowers, grass clippings, leaves, pruning, even weeds. Your garden waste is my garden treasure.

Description:

All the green waste pieces are combined into one pile and go into the green bin when it opens its lid.

Green bin:

So, no bad vibes okay? General waste and recycling items just don’t go with my flow.

Description:

An array of non-green waste appears around the green character in an arch. From left to right, newspaper, orange juice carton, tree stump, food waste, plastic bag, cardboard box, glass bottle, can of beans and glass jar. The green bin character points at these items and then they fly off the screen.

Green bin:

And all this green goodness can be made into rich usable compost for parks and gardens. Keep it organic. That means no pots, or hoses or heavy items like logs.

Description:

The green bin character points at body, then points at the items that appear on the screen one by one, a pot, a hose and a pile of 3 logs. The items disappear from the screen.

Green bin:

And this is definitely a hazard free zone. You dig?

Description:

An array of hazardous items appear around the green character in an arch. From left to right, batteries, chemicals, baby diapers and broken glass. The items then fly off the screen.

Green bin:

And keep my lid shut. Don’t want this garden waste getting out and making a gnarly mess.

Description:

The lid of the green bin pops open to reveal a palm frond. The bin lid then closes.

Green bin:

Then face me to the road the night before collection day and I’m good to go! Here comes my ride! Remember, keep it green.

Description:

The green bin character points to the right, then wheels itself out of frame while making a peace sign with its fingers. The animation then pans up to the sky to reveal text.
