As you may know, greenerMIAMI is a frequent user of the MetroMover, and an occasional user of the MetroRail. And we had often wondered why there were no trash receptacles available at these mass transit stations.

Later we found the answer: 9/11. You see, trash cans are great places to hide bombs, apparently. But New York fixed this long ago, you say, with clear trash cans and bags…allowing easy viewing of the contents of said receptacle. Why can’t we have that, too?

Well, now we do. In the last month or so, clear trash cans and bags have made an appearance at some, but not all MetroRail & MetroMover stops.

As you see in the pictures, they are really cool looking, however, only seem to work if the trash is left inside the container. Oh well, nothing is perfect!
