Bono's bin sells for $30,000

Linconshire Echo, September 23, 2008

Bono's bin is no laughing joke.

At a New York auction of designer waste bins, a custom-designed Vipp bin by the U2 frontman sold for the highest price of 30,000 dollars. Bono's Trash, which contained unpublished lyrics off the Irish band's next album, including a tribute to Nelson Mandela on his 90th birthday, set a new record price.

REM's Michael Stipe, actress Mena Suvari, rapper Q-Tip and supermodel Christy Turlington also put their own stamp on the handmade pedal bins, and theirs averaged around 1,750 dollars per bin.

"I have been very fortunate in my career and life, so it's an amazing feeling to be able to support the people who dedicate a large part of their lives to helping others," said Helena, who contributed three bins to the auction.

Hosted by Danish supermodel Helena Christensen, the silent auction, which was held at the Winston Wachter Fine Art Gallery in Manhattan on September 18, raised over 60,000 dollars for Food Bank For New York City and Chernobyl Children's Project International.
