  tire bin

 

Thailand

This typical Thai-style rubber tire bin consists of an old car tire which is turned inside-out and made into a round and bulbous vessel with two side-grips.

 

It has a volume of circa 80 litres and can be closed off with a round lid that has a handle in the top centre. The bin is typically placed on a frame of four halves cut from the stronger sides of car tires which are held together by a horizontal circle of a full tire side on top.
