Yes, absolutely! Many cities and public spaces are now installing outdoor trash bins specifically designed with smaller openings to help discourage people from disposing of oversized items. This is a growing trend in public litter control and waste management.
The main idea behind these bins is simple: by limiting the size of the opening—often to a slot just big enough for drink cans, food wrappers, and general small litter—it becomes physically difficult to stuff in large bags of household trash, bulky packaging, or other inappropriate debris. This design helps keep the bins from overflowing prematurely, reduces contamination from non-public waste, and lowers maintenance costs for municipalities.
You'll commonly see these "anti-dumping" or "litter control" bins in high-traffic areas like parks, transit stations, downtown sidewalks, and tourist spots. They encourage proper disposal habits for everyday litter while nudging individuals to take larger items to appropriate dumpsters or waste facilities. While not a perfect solution, they are a practical tool for keeping public spaces cleaner and more manageable.
