That's a great and very specific question! Yes, absolutely. Many modern urban trash cans, especially in city centers, transit hubs, or outside commercial buildings, do come with integrated ashtrays on top. You'll often see a small, circular or rectangular metal tray with a sand-filled or ribbed surface attached to the lid or the side of the bin.
The main idea is to provide a designated, safe place for smokers to dispose of cigarette butts. This helps tackle a huge problem: cigarette litter. Butts are not only unsightly but also non-biodegradable and toxic. By offering a convenient alternative to flicking them on the ground, these specialized bins aim to keep sidewalks cleaner and reduce fire risks.
However, it's not universal. You're more likely to find them in areas with high foot traffic and where smoking is permitted outdoors. Some cities have installed standalone outdoor ashtrays instead of modifying every trash can. So, while they are a common feature in many urban landscapes, don't be surprised if you come across standard bins without them. The trend is definitely toward including this feature in new street furniture designs to promote cleaner public spaces.
