The BSR comes up with the funniest campaigns to help keep the city clean. Reiner the "bin butler" makes an appearance every once in awhile on Friedrichstrasse or other heavily-trafficked areas to remind people to put their bins in the bin! If you like signs, you'll find more of them at Signs, Signs.
PS: I have a bonus Viennese sign up on my travel blog. And please send me good luck and positive thoughts this afternoon - I have a phone interview (only my second since moving to Berlin).
Good idea, I like his shiny shoes ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know a family in Jordbro that could learn from this.
ReplyDeleteClassy and unique.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of the street, it looks like Reiner is doing his job. :-)
ReplyDeleteA very nice "bin butler" and its name says it all, Mister "More Clean" !
ReplyDeleteI am sending you high and good energy right this very minute! Love the way education is done in a visual way; too bad we have to remind people to take care of their environment, tho.
ReplyDeletethat's very nice.(good luck on the interview!)
ReplyDeletehow cool! and good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteWell now that is certainly different!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the interview!
A cute way to remind people! I hope the interview went well!

ReplyDeleteHe's a cool little guy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the interview!
Very neat, great idea to address people this way.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant & Fun.
ReplyDeleteWe should have had some around here in Norway:)

ReplyDeleteAh, yes the headless orange robot. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteHoping all went well with the interview!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleasantly surprised that no one has left an empty pop can (or other rubbish) on his tray.
Reiner is actually a talking robot. He moved around and asked people to put their bins on his tray so he could properly dispose of them. (Of course, it was all controlled by someone hiding nearby).
DeleteVery eye catching.
ReplyDeleteMy SIGNS, SIGNS
a unique approach to keeping their sidewalks clear of trash!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I can imagine in the U.S. that people would end up putting their Starbucks coffee cups on the tray!
ReplyDeleteFunny and eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteLove the pun on the name!
ReplyDeleteI like this sort of reminder! Humour can go a long way to get people to pay attention.
