I’m seeing double! Man, I’m stoned!
You know, the garbage tippers in my city would never let those “fountains” stand. Also whoever decided to make those garbage bins into fountains would be fired on the spot for the suggestion. My god that is nasty.
I think this is the same crack team that gave birth to the key faucet below.
Here in the Northeast US we’re not that concerned about recycling water.
Apparently not.
What do you guys recycle over there, anyway?
jokes
So THAT’s why all our jokes on the West Coast are inferior!
*runsawayfast*
No, jokes on the West Coast are inferior because California can’t afford to pay attention to the good ones.
Woah! When did Cali go poor?
That’s gotta be bad for the economy.

Epic comment exchange FTW!!
where was this pic taken? iT looks an awful lot like a particular spot in Lowell, MA…
I would almost guarantee this was taken at Heber Valley RR in Heber, UT. We saw the same thing a few weeks ago when we went down for A Day Out With Thomas.
The train on the back is my tip off.
I was wondering about that…looks like an interurban car in the background.
This was taken at the Heber Valley Railroad in Heber, UT, at precisely these coordinates: 40.502255, -111.424721 (you can copy & paste them into google maps to see the satellite view, but you can’t zoom in close enough to see the fountains)
Oh, and they’re not actually a combination of fountain and garbage can…I thought that when I first used it.
“they’re not actually a combination of fountain and garbage can”
Uh, what is it then?
It looks to me like I’d be sticing my head into a (probably used) garbage can to get a drink. Am I missing something>
Do you really think the public health department would allow that? It’s just a water pipe with a fountain spigot where the pipe is surrounded by an EMPTY trash can.
So, um, how long is an empty trash can right next to a public drinking fountain going to stay empty? 15 minutes, maybe?
-Cougar :{)
Looks a lot like the Heber Creeper Railroad Station in Heber, Utah. I saw something that looked a lot like these when we took our son to the “day out with thomas.” Nothing like a garbage can water fountain to encourage a person to buy a bottled drink.
Damnit, Water water is dead. I was going to make a joke about his post-Spooks career.
It’s not a kludge until you put a koi pond into the bins as well.
Then it’s genius.
This kludge was inspired by the question, “How can I refuse fresh water?”
Dude, stop drinking, you’re trashed…
haha… best pun i’ve read all day: )
2 liter soda bottles and some sheet metal would fix the problem.
STOP COPYING ME!!! DX
Hmm…someone was evidently optimistic that there would be more than one person at a time clamoring to use such an apparatus.
Didn’t you ever catch yourself thinking, “Boy, I’m thirsty! If only I could go down to the train depot and get a warm drink of water near a garbage can.”?
Yeah, me neither.
Hmm…
As a water/waste water manger’s daughter, I find this particularly fascinating. Now I know what Dad did with our extra trash cans.
“Water/Waste water Manager’s Daughter”? Wasn’t that a Loretta Lynn song?
Why two? His and Hers? Hot or Cold? Glass or Cans? Regular or Diet?
I supposin’ it’s due to that thar being a Jim Crow ‘stablishment.
Well, see, they’re labeled so you know it’s not a trash can.
The cans are some sort of more or less resilient material to deal with local gravity fluxu …. fleux …. fuk … variations, high winds, impacts of careless vehicle-drivers….
And the lids can be detached and placed over the mouth-pieces to protect them from blowing dirt….
