Wheelie Bin Product

A product opportunity exists to develop and commercialise a wheelie bin casing which will both secure a wheelie bin and ensure it remains locked when not in use. The problem of fly tipping & bin theft coupled with the risk of wheelie bins falling over and opening in windy conditions are a cause of considerable concern to individual wheelie bin owners across Britain, Ireland and much of Europe. This product has a dual offering of securing the bin and keeping it locked. The competing products on the market appear to offer one or other of this product's attributes but not both.
