On the subject of apartment dumpster bins, at least one muli-storey block here in Melbourne has their bin fitted with a folding tow bar.
On 'bin day' the building manager or lackey can close the lids, wheel out the bin, hitch up to a car or ute and then tow the bin out from the car park [being restricted height 2.1 metres or 7 feet] and then deliver the bin to the chosen spot where the bin truck will empty it during its daily rounds.
Given the way things are going with Occ Health and Safety, we may yet see more bins fitted with tow bars to prevent injuries when bins require movement to empting locations from the loading point or else a move to smaller bins.
This could provide an excuse to model a tow bar equipped bin or two sitting outside a business awaiting or following emptying. Or you could say the bin has a tow bar because the bin company was short of standard bins and so delivered a tow bar equipped model of the required size.
Often if the factory has a forklift it will carry the bin[s] out and back.
Just some things I have observed during my working life.
