The European Union Landfill Directive is changing the way Waste is managed in the UK. Local Authority Councils now have a legal requirement to improve services, reduce waste and educate their local community about new services and the behaviours they require. BinMan helps you do this.

A series of 4 short animated films introduce 'BinMan' and the challenges of recycling in an engaging, entertaining and memorable way. Designed to compliment the Eco-Schools initiative, BinMan is targeted at the 5-14 age group but has a growing number of older fans as well! To hear them you will need speakers or headphones, and Macromedia Flash Player. Download the Flash Player here
