"Harvey previously stood as a similar character, Lord Buckethead, but was forced to create a new character due to a dispute with the filmmaker Todd Durham, who owns the Buckethead character" [1].
(The videos on this website are worth the watch. Hilarious, of course. But also...Binface conjugates Latin to Sky News, and not just as a bit. I don't know how I feel about the British comedy candidate outclassing half of the American elected leadership–and a good fraction of its industrial leadership–on IQ.)
Yes but in the USA a "bin" usually refers to a generic category of containers, often rectangular. A "recycling bin" is a specific kind of bin, and it's almost always qualified as such. If you called it a "bin" out of context people would be confused or think you're trying to be British or something.

"Bin," generally, isn't British English. We have recycling bins, for instance.

Eh? Most commonly uttered words in UK English: "Have you put the bins out?"
He means not exclusively British English
Same in the UK. If you look at his pic, you’ll see it’s literal!
Or in Massachusetts, Count Barrelface.
