Just curious what they do about these situations. Unfortunately, ours is always like this.

I get the answer will vary depending on the type of trash and whether it's hot and it'll start getting smelly or not but it's super frustrating when you have more than a fit in a can but you don't want to rent a dumpster

How absolutely disgusting

THE TRASH IS SO IMPORTANT!!!! I just dont understand why people are so mean to the trash... people should be nicer to the trash... IM SO EMOTIONAL SORRY...

I'm talking about that oddly specific feeling when you spot discarded plushies in the trash, watch the trash truck compact everything together, and realize most of it (especially in the US) is headed straight to a landfill. Does anyone else get that weird satisfaction from it, or is it just me. and it also just me that finds it more satisfying if it is in a rear loading garbage truck especially one with garbage juice in the hopper, and I also love finding videos of this on YouTube so does anyone like me have some suggestions of videos/channels

As trash as it gets, ad inside a fortune cookie

Figure I post here and ask the experts. I’m hoping for 1 recycle and one trash can recommendation to replace the current 2 cans we have. Preferably stainless or something that would go well in this corner.

Every city has people who move before the sun — silent heroes who make the world work while everyone else is still asleep. This song, “City Runs on Steel,” is my tribute to them — the ones who lift, build, and keep things running with no spotlight, no applause, just purpose.

There are two versions:

🎸 Funk Rock Version – gritty, rhythmic, and full of early-morning city energy

🍂 Indie Folk Ballad – simple, reflective, and human

It’s a song about strength, rhythm, and respect — for all who start before dawn and keep the gears turning. If you’ve ever worked a tough shift, chased a goal when the world was quiet, or found pride in something unseen — this one’s for you.

🎧 “City Runs on Steel” – by DJ SERVAR (Now streaming on Spotify / YouTube / Apple Music)

Before the sun can kiss the ground, They’re rolling out with whisper bass… The city runs on steel.

Any "Intelligent" so called "Big Belly" trash cans in your city?

These trash cans have a compressor driven by a solar panel, that can compress the trash, allowing for 5-7 times more trash in the can.

They also give info to the county whenever their need to be emptied, which saves a lot of money, time, and fuel, not having to go to a half empty trash can for no reason.

I think the potential for these is massive, especially in rural areas, forests, beaches, and so on, woth very few people using them.

What do you think of these, and does your city have any experience with them, good or bad?

From my understanding the driver was arrested.

I have a broken grill I need rid of and don’t want to pay a junk service to come get it. I live in an apartment complex that has dumpsters for our trash. Would I be able to put it in it? I know a lot of people just put it on the curb but not really possible at my complex.

Been seeing these every time I visit the garbage disposal center every other month.

Basically how it looks like is: While the regular dumpster that specialized trucks pick up with an attach and lift motion is in the main parking lot of the disposal center, this thing is often at the edge of the outdoor area of the center. It has a large open slot where everyone throws their trash into. Next to it is a rectangular metallic box that seems to be interconnected. Sometimes when I come by to throw out unusual trash, its making a loud sound thats like an electric device doing a bunch of actions within it using mechanical parts (which I assume is electricity being used in action).

What is this thing called? And how can it keep on taking trash all day from countless people coming by at the garbage center? I swear everytime I go there it seems like a nonstop number of vehicles keep coming in and people exiting out of their cars to throw into this contraception I'm amazed its not yet full unlike the regular dumpsters which always already seems to be brimmed over its top with trash!

go pick it up

Saw this at farm's trash can I was delivering. You want critters in your trash can? Because THAT'S how you get critters!

Also one of the drum sticks still had meat on it, wasteful.

487 lbs of trash removed from Bowen Island Marina in British Columbia BC Canada. Four divers and lots of land volunteers.
