I've read of people growing potatoes in stacked car tyres, when they harvest them they just remove a tyre at a time.
You could use one for veg and the other for a water butt.
Makes me wish they hadn't collected the old bins when we moved in!!!
Well good luck in whatever you decide to do with them

Do veg require a certain depth to grow in? The water butt is a nice idea, my bins are not council, we have many private contracters here and any I rang said they dont own the bins, so looks like I have a couple of bins to play with.
