In a lot off the north east side of 152nd and 15th I spotted what appears to be a recycling bin graveyard. This photo was taken today.

I've recently been wondering about the fate of our "old" recycling bins.
When the new bins showed up it was clear that they were the exact size and shape as the old ones. Did we have to get new bins just because a new company is taking over Shoreline's recycling? And, as this photo seems to suggest - are the old bins just going to be trashed? I mean, really. Dumpsters full of recycling bins?
Is that ironic?
If you have any information about this, please let me know.
Update: an anonymous commenter says "Waste Management picks them up, cleans them up and reuses them. If they are no longer reuseable, they will be recycled.The new bins are made of 40% recycled content, the most of any current bins available."
