We’ll be getting excited that they’ve added plastic toy figurines on the CRR waterfalls next.
Oh wait…
 
Back when we first started visiting in '99, one of the most positive things I remember my parents saying about the place was that they had bins everywhere :p Not those bins though... barrels? With "LITTER" painted on in white? Are they still about?

Not sure whether or not this beats a good toilets closed-season discussion.

They actually came before Christmas, and they are just the old bins painted new colours it wouldn’t surprise me if you peeled the paint back you’ll find they are from 98 and all those oblivion bins they had back then.

Well we won't have long to find out, because when the paint does start flaking off them it'll be years before they'll be fixed again.

Yes I think there are some of the wooden barrel ones left too.

Streetview is from 2009 but I think these are still in place https://goo.gl/maps/gWuTcurYQ5NX6wBA6
 
The barrel bins have been around for decades. They used to say "LITTER" on them but I don't know when that changed.

You can see it in this photo from the TowersStreet archives:
