What is the strangest use for a clinical waste container, or the most inappropriate place that a clinical waste container has been seen?

Over the years I have seen many yellow sacks, many 'liberated' from the NHS and used for domestic refuse, in gardens and on allotments; a bulging clinical waste sack rolling around the luggage belt at Heathrow Terminal 1 (why was it checked in and conveyed), a sharps bin in a GP reception area used as an impromptu flower vase (may be someone was worried about roses with sharp thorns), and of course clinical waste sacks on a London bus.


So, let's run a competition, to find the strangest location for, or use of, a clinical waste container.

Entries, comprising a brief description/explanation and a photo, to moderator@ianblenkharn.com please. Remember to include your name and contact details. All entries must be genuine - no fakes or mock-ups please, and nothing 'borrowed' from other web sites, no matter how funny.  Each entry will be displayed, with a prize for the best.

Good luck

Ian
