Scavenging from outdoor trash cans can lead to littered streets, health hazards, and increased maintenance costs. To discourage this, trash cans can be designed with several innovative features. First, using locking mechanisms or tamper-proof lids ensures only authorized personnel can access the contents. Second, smaller openings prevent large items from being easily removed, reducing temptation. Third, heavy-duty materials like reinforced steel make bins harder to break into. Additionally, placing bins in well-lit, high-traffic areas deters scavengers. Finally, integrating smart sensors to alert waste management teams when bins are tampered with can further enhance security. By combining these strategies, cities can maintain cleaner, safer public spaces while promoting responsible waste disposal.
