"A wheelie bin that was found on the south coast of England appears to have travelled 5,000 miles across the Atlantic from the United States. Beachcomber Ryan Stalker found the black bin with Baldwin County, Alabama written on the side, and several goose barnacles attached to it. The marine crustaceans are known to live in warm and tropical seas like the Caribbean and can't survive in the colder waters around the UK."
"Ryan made some enquiries on social media and soon had responses from residents in Alabama who, using the unique code on it, confirmed the bin came from the coastal town of Fort Morgan. They believe the wheelie bin washed into the sea during Hurricane Sally in September 2020 and entered the Gulf of Mexico. The black bin has writing on the side which stated 'Baldwin County, Alabama' (Ryan Stalker/BNPS)"

A wheelie bin found on England's south coast appears to have travelled about 5,000 miles from Baldwin County, Alabama, carrying goose barnacles that indicate tropical origin. Social media inquiries and a unique code identified Fort Morgan as the source; residents say the bin likely entered the Gulf during Hurricane Sally in September 2020 and washed ashore after more than five years.
