When I was a little pup, the house garbage went into the can under the kick peddle.
Disposers were not invented yet. Guys in trucks emptied out the house garbage into bigger cans. Then dumped it into the 'Stink wagon' and off to the pig farm.
Still see abandoned garbage cans around old neighborhoods. Great hidding? places for the little kids. They should be removed.
Now its either disposer and/or wrap it tight and off to the dump.

Worked delivering milk as a kid. Tripped on them all the time.
Ah! the good old days
