@drewdevault meant for general household-waste of the people living in the area?
Highly area depenend if a lock is ok or not (in parts of the larger city here, an open trash-bin for a bigger house kept unlocked would mean it would be filled with old kitchen-parts and carpets after the first night - although stuff like this would be taken in free of charge, and can be taken to a recycle-center free of charge for private housholds; people are strange sometimes)
still no excuse to litter :)
