ART enthusiast Derrick Voller has come up with an innovative way to make sure residents keep hold of their wheelie bins.

He has come up with 20 different weather-proof stickers with house numbers to put on the side of the bins.

The unemployed 29-year-old, of Titchfield Park Road, Locks Heath, has spent the past few weeks on a number of eye-catching designs featuring animals, cartoon characters and decorative features.

He said: "I came up with the idea after seeing so many house numbers painted on wheelie bins.

"I thought to myself how untidy and ugly it looked. So I decided to go ahead with some sticker designs."

Now Derrick, who studied graphics at art college, has sent the designs to a sticker manufacturer so he can start selling them in the new year.
