I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you. Just follow the Linky steps below. Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere. The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week. Thanks, Sami.
Photos taken in Lisbon a few years ago, of various recycling containers for bottles and tins. I found them quite striking, what do you think?
I wonder if the second was full as there are bottles, and probably non-recyclable stuff on the floor... or maybe just lazy people 😡.
These are amazing and very cleverly painted, Sami. We don't have anything like that here in the states. Maybe if we did, we would be more willing to recycle rather than fill our landfills with recyclables, like cans and bottles.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed some states charge for the bottles and return the money once you return the empty bottles. Not sure if that applies to cans, though. Regardless, these are so very clever and very, very different from anything we have here.
Thanks Elizabeth. We don't have these big containers in Australia either, but we also get a 10c refund on cans and plastic bottles that we take to recycling centres.
DeleteThe decorations on those very utilitarian containers are really imaginative. I love the one with the houses. We don’t have them here in the US (at least not that I have seen), but I have noticed them — unpainted — in France as well.
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
The one with the houses is quite pretty, thanks Mae
Delete...these are fabulous, I've never seen them like this before. Thanks Sami for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThese containers are absolutely extraordinary, especially the first one. I have never seen such containers here in France. What a find. Lisbon is at the forefront of street art
ReplyDeleteI thought I had seen them in Paris, but I must be misremembering!
Deletemae
Thanks Arnaud, Lisbon has lots of street art, it's quite amazing!
DeleteThey are all very cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha :)
DeleteI hope they are encouraging people to recycle. We need them here, ours are just boring square bins.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. I remember using them when we lived in Portugal.
DeleteStunning, very creative creations :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you liked them
DeleteThey do stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
DeleteFanatic art works.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.
Thanks Rupam.
DeleteWhat cool recycling containers. Wish we could have them here too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa.
DeleteThey are great and what a good way to encourage recycling, especially for children. Also, there is a nice capture of Lisbon's famous route 28 tram.
ReplyDeleteYes, you spotted the Nr 28 tram :) Thanks Andrew
DeleteThose are so cool. Thanks for sharing them. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you liked them.
DeleteChapelada para a iniciativa!!

Obrigada Pedro, boa semana
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteThat hairy monster would make you want to walk a block away from it...
Hugs,
Mariette
I wonder if kids actually like the hairy monster, lol?
DeleteThanks Mariette.
Wow, especially the first two.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, they are all quite nice.
DeleteWauu.. I really love these. the painting are amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good sized trash can. We don’t have a model like this, so all the rubbish might be often outside the trash can.
They are quite huge, so they take a lot of recycling. Thanks Orvokki
DeleteThey're fabulous, aren't they? Especially that first one :) :) A great way of drawing attention to the need to recycle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, they are really nice.
DeleteOh wow, I like them all. I never came across them in Lisboa. It attracts people to recycle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Traudel :)
DeleteA nice way to paint the containers, but some look a bit creepy...
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne :) :)
DeleteThose are fun! They make recycling enjoyable. Well...for some people.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon. Some people you just can't convert, sadly...
DeleteThe first two made excellent use of the form. Great ones but al looks good.Funny find in Lisboa.
ReplyDeleteThanks SC :)

DeleteThey look spectacular and alot better than the ones here. Nice finds, Sami. Have a good day and a nice new week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill, they do look nicer than plain ones :)
DeleteThese are fabulous. But I hate how people leave their garbage on the ground.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. Some people never learn or are too lazy!!
DeleteThey are fabulous, especially the first two.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karl :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful job they have done on them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat :)
DeleteBem giros Sami. Há um do Homer Simpson nas Avenidas Novas. Mando-lhe um dia destes, assim que tirar a foto (se o dito ainda lá estiver)
ReplyDeleteAtenção que anda por aqui um "troll" a publicitar-se :(
Bom dia
Obrigadinha Paula, agradeco :) Ja vi o troll...
DeleteI love seeing things like this! These are terrific, Sami. I wish our barrels looked even half so good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie, they do look great.
DeleteThey do look good don't they :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yes, they do, thanks Jan :)
DeleteHey, I nailed the link this time. Was a bit scared to play again after the last time. Getting the hang of this blogging thang! I wish we had bins like that here, it's so creative,and more importantly, fun
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in Monday Murals, it's a wonderful mural.
DeleteOh my gosh they are brilliant Sami and hopefully will encourage younger people to actually use them. I can't believe I forgot to link up my mural again Sami, I'm blaming it on the Covid injection 😀
