Indeed they're still made. And then after the gentle garbage guys fling them about I can take them to a trash can body shop for repair. (I can't begin to imagine asking the burly garbage men to actually not fling them.) What I think I need is an electrified carbon filament can with a photoelectric switch that disables electrocutions in the daylight hours.

Either that or I can keep the can indoors.

The electrified can trick doesn't work. By time one of the garbagemen accidently covers up the photocell, your trashcan is already dented beyond repair. In fact, the garbageman usually flings the can even further the first time that electric shock activates.

However not very successful though

What do you mean not very successful predators to raccoons?

How man raccoons do you see wearing human caps?

I imagine if such a can zapped one of our "roadside refuse workers" the can wouldn't just get hurled farther, but would be in through the window.
