Sealed-up trash bins leave trash littering the streets. 

A good idea trashed
     This bus stop furniture was a great idea. All over the city local real estate agents smile out at us from the signboards on these nicely designed, well constructed units. Supplied by Creative Outdoor Advertising, of Gormley, Ont. (head office Jupiter Fla.) each offers four reasonably comfortable seats, designed so rain and snow will wash them but won't pool on them, and a high ‘counter’ on which you can rest a heavy bag of groceries or lean an elbow. Then there's the big signboard — the raison d'être for the whole thing — and finally a discreet swing-top trash disposal bin.
     But the trouble with trash disposal bins is that eventually you have to go around to them and collect the trash. Somebody had the bright idea that there'd be more profit in keeping the ad revenue and disposing of the trash-collecting duty. So they sealed the swing-tops shut and drove screws into them to make sure they stayed sealed.
     Now the real estate agents still smile at us, and the trash collects on the ground.
     You look good on this thing, George. But it doesn't look good on you.
