URBAN TRASH CANS

It's an interesting idea - making trash can openings smaller to prevent people from dumping large items. Many cities struggle with bulky litter like pizza boxes or bags of household waste being left beside public bins. While smaller openings might discourage some large items, they could also lead to more litter being left around the cans if people can't fit their trash inside. The key is finding the right balance - openings that accommodate typical street litter like food wrappers and bottles while making large item disposal inconvenient enough to encourage proper disposal elsewhere. Some cities have had success with specially designed openings for different waste streams, combined with clear signage about proper disposal methods for larger items. Ultimately, trash can design is just one piece of the puzzle - public education and convenient alternatives for large item disposal are equally important for keeping our cities clean.
