It's frustrating when your trash can goes missing in the city. To prevent theft, start by securing it physically. You can use a lock; many bins have pre-drilled holes for this—just add a simple combination lock or a heavy-duty chain. If locking isn't an option, make it heavier. Fill the bottom with sand, rocks, or even cement to deter casual thieves. Consider discreetly marking your bin with your address or using a bright, unique paint color for easy identification. For high-tech security, a cheap GPS tracker hidden inside can help you locate it if stolen. Always place your bin in a well-lit, visible area, as darkness invites trouble. If you have a fence, chain the bin to it. Reporting thefts to local authorities also helps track patterns. With these steps, your trash can is much more likely to stay put.
