If the old galvanised bin is truly a relic(not repro) it is worth
preserving because they are already being sought after by collectors

Dustbin collectors LOL

The mind does boggle, rather. Sometimes I despair of the human race.
Note that repros are apparently available: don't get ripped off with a
fake garbage can! (On reflection, there's a swish catalogue outfit
that sells, among other things, ready-rusted fake factory furniture. I
bet that's where you'd go for a counterfeit dustbin...£150, probably.)
