  • People have thought up the ‘bin isolation outing’ meme during social distancing 
  • The hilarious trend has caught on with the Facebook page gaining 400,000 members 
  • People are being told to stay in their houses to slow the spread of coronavirus 

With Australians stuck inside the house during the coronavirus pandemic heading out on the town, for now, is a distant memory.

One hilarious way some people have thought up to still enjoy a social outing is to get dressed up to take the bins to the kerb.

And with the bins heading out more than most people, the trend has become quite popular.

The Facebook group ‘Bin isolation outing’ has more than 400,000 members and features pictures of people dressed up in everything from ball gowns with high heels to colourful costumes and superhero outfits.

Group administrator Danielle Askew told Daily Mail that the community started as a way to ‘just have a bit of fun’ during social distancing.

‘My friend posted a meme on Facebook about being excited it’s bin night so they get to go out,’ Ms Askew said.

‘I dared her to dress up and said I would too. Then I made the page so all my friends could join in and dress up too.’

She said she was quite nervous when she walked from the front door to the kerb but once the nerves subsided she got more comfortable and gave the neighbours a wave.

The trend has now caught the attention of others around the world and now people from other countries are joining in on the fun.

‘I’m blown away at how it took off, all over the country and the world. It is something to do in the chaotic world that we are in at the moment. A reason to dress up, have a smile and a laugh.’

She said in normal times taking the bin out is a chore but with the way things are at the moment it brings a little bit of comic relief’ and is just plain ‘hilarious.’
