After a six month journey at sea, the bin displaying the Worthing crest ended up at the island home of Frerk Richter.
It was discovered by Herr Richter who lives on Borkum, a small island and popular tourist destination in the Leer District in north west Germany.
He contacted Worthing Borough Council to share news of the bin’s epic voyage.
It has now taken up permanent residency on the island, having been transformed into a plant holder in Herr Richter’s garden. He said: “I cleaned the bin with a pressure washer and it now looks great.
“I then put it in our garden, put a plant in it and my daughter finished it off by adding a birdhouse to the top.”
You've not mentioned the bird shitIt looks rank. It's just a bin with a plant pot stuffed in it. And that post in front of it just looks like a bollard nicked from the side of the road.
A MEMBER of the public rang police after spotting what they thought was cannabis on the road.
Officers from North Yorkshire Police's Bedale Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) were dispatched to a report of "possible herbal cannabis" in the middle of the A6055, near Pickhill.
It was on Monday, June 8. They managed to find the plant matter and cleared it from the scene. An officer confirmed it was actually curly kale.
