80L OSGS Columbia

These bins are, to put it frankly, near extinction. They weren't as popular as were the PlastoPan bins OSGS sold. They've got a contemporary early 90's appearance, they look nice when their new. The lid was originally yellow, as you can see, it's faded significantly.

Hmm, that's quite a different looking bin, what a great find! I'm presuming that the lid would have originaly had rubber flaps like the Plastopan bottle hole lid bins, can't think of any other reason why there'd be all the studs around the hole otherwise. Any idea on the age of it, late 80's- mid 90's perhaps?

@wheeliechook These Columbia bins are in a level of their own, nothing like the other brands of bins. Yep, the lid had a 'recycling rosette' thing, good way to keep the rubbish in and birds out haha. My guess is this bin was made in the mid to late 90's, there's no year of make insignia on these bins, from what i've seen.

woah thats a weird lid but kinda neat. Is this that bin they sold with the wheels that attached individually with that weird ass plastic thing? thats strange but neat at the same time.

@3amrepmike3 The lid's pretty unique, no other bin maker has a lid designed like that. Yep, the Columbia model is the only one where the wheels are attached onto the bin individually. It's the most unique bin i've ever seen..

@garbagetrucksaussie My guess is, this bin was made in the late 90's. As much as i'd like to, i don't own this bin.
