    As awful as that is, the design of those dumpsters will always lead to this. To put the bag in, you must hold the lid open well above your head (and higher than many people can reach) while holding a heavy bag of trash, then lift it even higher to get it in. If you are smaller than average (e.g. a child), physically disabled, or just not an able-bodied adult, that becomes impossible

      Europe to the rescue. You can make them susceptible to rain but that means you’d have to slide back the lid quite a bit which is uncomfortable and not necessary to put a bag in, there might also be a stop you have to lever away. Some also come with an additional front flap which is usually sufficient. Pedal actuator available as extra.

    Very possibly a disabled or wheelchair bound person. Those containers suck. I’m surprised there isn’t more trash next to it
