The article examines the repurposing of waste bins during protests in Paris and Barcelona. They are transformed from tools for managing refuse into barriers that obstruct movement and reshape public space. The article argues that protesters choose them both because they are easy to move and for their symbolic significance: removing them from their usual place reverses the function of an object associated with urban order and turns it into a site of contestation over the meaning of space and authority. It concludes that their significance is not fixed, but varies according to the perspectives of protesters, authorities, and residents—and that understanding their symbolism does not erase the material effects of fires or disruptions to everyday life.
