1.   Next morning the din from the dustbin lids had hardly subsided when the grim realization drove into my brain.

2.   Melissa heard the sounds of a dustbin lid being replaced and the running of a tap as Eleanor washed her hands.

3.   It was just like two dustbin lids.

4.   It was like an alley cat crashing dustbin lids together to disguise its stalking technique when it is not really trying to catch mice.
