That loud, jarring CLANG when an empty can hits the bottom of a metal trash bin is a universal urban annoyance. Fortunately, you don't have to live with it. The best way to prevent this noise is by creating a soft, sound-absorbing barrier inside the bin. The simplest method is to use a durable plastic bag as a liner, even if you don't line the can with a bag for every pickup. The plastic acts as a buffer, dramatically reducing the impact noise. For a more permanent solution, line the bottom of the can with an old rubber car mat, a piece of carpet, or even a layer of foam. You can cut the material to fit the bottom perfectly. This padding absorbs the shock of any thrown-in item. If the noise from the sides is also an issue, consider applying self-adhesive foam strips to the inner walls. These solutions are cheap, effective, and will restore peace and quiet to your alleyway or kitchen.
