Most rubbish bins I see are placed in such a way that if the
rubbish misses the receptacle then it ends up in the park
edge or waterway.
I suggest using a computer modelling to try and pin down the
best placement of rubbish bins as to gather as much refuse
and make the least stain.
Factors:
bin type, weather conditions (winds), traffic, local
shops and even primary school race days.
I like great tasting fish and chips and want it to stay that
way.

This is a specialization of the general idea of using computer modelling in town planning. Which is in itself a good idea and much better than the current method which seems to involve throwing darts at a local map and saying "That'll do". |

Shirley the solution is to remove all the bins for one week,
and then replace them wherever there is the most litter? |
|
| |
You'd have to do it when there's no wind, or else the bins will all end up tucked away in corners where the wind eddies. |
|

Max, I'll send you out to bag the data and plot
positions. |

A bin in the middle of that creek, you say. |
|
| |
[wagster] maybe, a specialized wind bin for those
really grubby corners. |

An obvious application for "flocking road cones" technology; migratory bins. |

"best placement of rubbish bins", could read: |
|
| |
"Best placement and _Form_ of rubbish bins"; I'm
convinced the shape of public rubbish bins (trash can in
US English) determines how much they are used. |
|
| |
Come to think of it I've never seen one shaped like an
erlenmeyer flask / \, it would hold so much more trash
between emptyings and would require only an erlenmeyer
flask shaped trash can liner bag to work. The next thing is
to make it pretty. |

How about a trash clearing robot decorated with a permanent look of disapproval? |
