Chris: I guess you and Jim come the closest, at least somewhere between your answers. LA in WI and his good better half were traveling in Nova Scotia. In the rural areas they noticed huge bins at the end of driveways. Upon his return he e mailed me suggesting these looked like they might be grabage bins. Lowell was right, they are garbage bins.
This system more or less evolved. First it was a case on individuals having their garbage torn open on garbage day by brids of prey or animals. Secondly everyone who tried it discovered if they took fresh garbage to the bin at the end of the driveway, each day, it kept rodents away from house and other outbuildings. A few folks also had encounters with black bears. One city couple turned part time farmers, awakened one night to have a black bear in their back porch. Bear did a lot of structural damage to the porch, especially the door he entered.
Next the municipality saw an advantage, no longer was there a need for scheduled garbage pickup. Garbage to be picked up was always at road side.
Then folks decided to beautify and give the bins some culture, even competitions for the best bin. What developed was very colorful bins, some with murals on them. Old iron guys would do a mural of their tractor. My cousin spotted this Edsel on the Cabot Trail. She inquired and sure enough it is the garbage bin. I didn't ask her if the garbage man had to carry the Edsel key.
