Here is a list of links to some writing I did for an office catalog.

       My stuff is the hilarious stuff at the bottom of the webpage.   My intent was to make someone’s day with humor to perhaps trigger a buying decision.   I have the idea that some of these could go viral, but have no idea how that process works and am not the type of person to leave “spomments”, it just doesn’t seem like something that I would ever do.  I was happy to make my boss happy!

At the end of the links is a few ways I described trashcans for the catalog.









This Section is about trashcans…..

                                                                                    Metal Pedal Bin

                                                                                                 90125

Put your pedal to the metal with our line of Galvanized Steel rock and roll inspired bins.  The larger sizes are built with a very rock-star-ish shock absorber(20L & 28L).  This feature allows you, the office rock star, to silently take care of your sanitation needs in absolute aural privacy.  Bin any and all waste without anyone being the wiser about your habits.    Your road manager will love the fact that the inner plastic bucket is anti-bacterial and comes with a carrying handle.   Perhaps the biggest attraction is that your slovenly drummer will not be able to resist using the rod assembly foot pedal on these beauties when you lie to him and tell him that they were designed by RINGO STARR.

Who might use this item besides Rock-stars-

This bin can be used by Disco artists, Dee-jays, R&B, typists, office managers, housewives, children of every age, race and colour.  This is a truly universal bin steadfastly welcomes use by anyone in the human race, even some animals, like that Labrador retriever who learned the command “garbage” and would take the item of refuse from his owner’s outstretched hand, walk to the bin, put a paw on the pedal and bin the refuse.  He was out performing the drummer until the Other interesting features.

 If one were to equip a drummer with the full complement of these one would have an award winning video.  Assembling all the bins in the office together is also a great idea for your office talent night.   Shoot your own video and go viral on the internet, sales will rocket!  You are the fun tax adjustors on the block! (Just buy the bins from us!)  discounts on multiple purchase of the same item. drummer suddenly got interested when we mentioned Richard Starkey’s stage name to him Rectangular Pedal Bin

                                                                                                       90701-

 Everybody’s Favorite Quadrilateral  is featured in this crowd pleasing white finish.  Why is the crowd so happy with what appears, at first glance, to be just another rubbish bin?  The answer is in how easily customizable a white bin like this is with a handful of markers.  Turn it into a fabulous creature that when you press the Pedal shows you a mouth full of jagged teeth.   Do painstaking recreations of classic paintings like “Starry Night” for your office dreamers of “the Scream” for the guy who spends most of his work day forging references and sending out resumes.   Some Office managers reportedly let the  bins form alliances like they do on all those stupid tee-vee shows and see which alliance wins the most "binnie"  awards. 

Who might use this item?  Anyone with a handful of refuse and the hand eye co-ordination to operate the foot pedal in concert with their hands is a candidate to use this bin.  Anarchists may decide to make a political statement by not using the pedal, but 93% of the human race understands the relevant technology and necessity for using bins in the workplace. Sensitive Bin

                                                                                               90728

 The double-0-seven of “Her Majesty's Binning Service” (H.M.B.S.) this extremely spy- friendly wonder automatically opens and closes via infrared technology.  This bin is also perfect for the sloppy cook who is too un-coordinated to use traditional pedal bins but still yearns for cookie batter free outer trashcans.  

Who might use such a bin, besides spies?

The sensitive nature of a bin like this demands that I check your clearances before I discuss further with you, the internet, what kind of sensitivities this bin is cleared to handle.  Let’s for now speak in the generalities so that we don’t give away any H.M.B.S. ultra top secrets. Plastic Swing Lid Bin

                                                                                                                 91940-

This futuristic use of plastic and swing lid technology was all the rage at 1946 “World's Fair Kitchen of The Future" exhibit.  Swing lid lovers already have 2021 circled on their calendars for the 75th Anniversary GALA.  Round Pedal Bin

 

91975

Mick Jagger's Favorite bin and my favorite bin to sing about at a Karoke night

( To the tune of "Brown Sugar.")

"Round,”

“round pedal, how come you trash so good?”

“Round,”

“round pedal, just like a trash bin should."

Who might use this bin-  People who typically generate small amounts of refuse would use the smallr sizes, which hold 3 litres.  People with larger amounts of daily refuse generation would obviously use the larger sizes, depending on space considerations, staffing levels, and whether the trash can is by the smoking area, in which case you will have no shortage of volunteers to go smoke a fag while they take out the rubbish.

Hands free operation due to “step to open” lid/pedal combination.

 

This sleek classic bin design has won all the major bin awards and is sure to be honored in the inaugural class of the Sanitation technology Hall of Fame when it has its much anticipated Grand Opening later this year.

 

Anything else interesting about this item?

This item is about as interesting as a round white plastic trash bin can be and they are thinking seriously about filming a movie about the excitement that comes along  with the official designation of temporary sanitational storage receptacle.  Tom Hanks is rumored to be the voice of the trashcan.
