Garbage can crime thriller: East Frisian is looking for the collector's item from the 80s!

Alexander Smoljanovic, a 25-year-old garbage can collector from Wanzleben in Saxony-Anhalt, has a very special goal: He is looking for a dark brown 240-liter garbage can from the 1980s. This special bin was produced by the manufacturer SULO in Herfurt and has great personal meaning for Smoljanovic. He already owned such a bin in the Aurich district in 2019, but unfortunately it broke.

Smoljanovic, who has over 200 garbage cans of different shapes, colors and sizes in his collection, started his passion with a miniature garbage can that a neighbor gave him. He sees his collection as a contribution to preserving history and raising awareness of the importance of trash cans. Among the special pieces in his collection is a dark brown SULO garbage can from 1985, which he discovered in 2019. He damaged this barrel through improper cleaning and later converted it into an armchair.

Search for the rare barrel

To complete his collection, Smoljanovic continues to search for the dark brown trash can he was looking for. He has already used various online platforms but has so far been unsuccessful. He already owns a 120 liter bin from the manufacturer SULO, which he found in Bamberg. If you have any information about the bin you are looking for or can provide information, you can contact Smoljanovic on 0171 8005494 or by email at wbs.deutschland@gmail.com.

For more information about the 240 liter trash can you are looking for, those interested can visit the SULO website at sulo.de.

Smoljanovic's creative approach shows how a seemingly ordinary collection can become an interesting and meaningful hobby.
