Many times dustbins are stolen/vandalised by people. They steal/vandal allmost everything. So next demand is to have police system/community patrol working ! :)

Genrally I have seen in Pune and Mumbai  metal type in Public places and Garbage truck lift them directly and pour the garbage into truck and keep them back.

Or even Cement type like 2 Meter pipe  can be placed.

The ongoing drive to clean up K.R. Market will get a spot of cricketing glamour if Mayor B.S. Sathyanarayana has his way. He has invited Karnataka’s well-known cricketing icons Anil Kumble and Javagal Srikanth to join the drive and inspire more youngsters to pitch in.

The Mayor said actor-turned-politician M.H. Ambareesh had also agreed to join the cleaning drive. “I request litterateurs also to join this important exercise to keep the markets in the city clean,” he said.
