That's a great observation about city trash bins! From my experience walking around different neighborhoods, most standard public trash bins actually have lids that are attached. They're typically designed with a hinge mechanism or a tether that allows them to swing open when you press a foot pedal or lift them by hand, but they don't come completely off. This is intentional for a few reasons: it prevents lids from being lost or stolen, keeps them from becoming litter themselves, and makes the bin more user-friendly. However, I have occasionally seen bins where the attachment is broken, especially in high-traffic areas. In those cases, the lid might sit loosely or even come off entirely. Municipalities generally prefer attached lids for maintenance and hygiene purposes. If you're curious about a specific bin, you can usually tell by looking for visible hinges, chains, or a central rod that connects the lid to the bin body.
Are the lids on these urban trash bins attached, or can they come off easily?
