At first glance they seem like a clever idea but you can't help but wonder who is actually going to see them or have time to take them in? So the standard angle of vision is 15 degrees below eye level but when you're trying to push your way through a busy London street most of us can't afford to look anywhere but directly ahead to avoid being abused by angry commuters. I'm also curious as to whether the benefit of the recycling element out weighs the energy the bins will consume by running 24/7? Perhaps they should have been made solar powered..
The bins also have WI-FI connectivity although I can't quite see a bin catching on as a congregation point. I'm curious to see how well they're received and if any more pop up around the city, watch this space!

When you're ascending from a tube line to street level there is a good chance you'd see it more clearly. And a lot of people use those bins to get rid of their grotty Metro.
Just a thought :)
