That wouldn't really help. A lot of the coverage dances around this, but one of the major problems with the existing cans is that people spill them all over the street while looking for recyclables to exchange.

Then put a recycle bin next to the trash can. Maybe even a $20,000 AI recycle bin that thanks them for saving the planet.

I don’t even bother throwing cans away, just set them on top of the trash can and half the time they disappear before I walk out of the store.

That won't stop people from digging through for the miscategorized cans that end up in the garbage anyway. Which I suspect, given that most cans ended up in the trash bin even in upscale corporate microkitchens with three containers next to each other with sorting instructions on a poster above them, would be a lot.

Give me 20k and I will design you a trash can that you cannot dig around in.
