Now that I think about it a little more - there is no reason to expect other people to empty it... everywhere else in the world when you see an outdoor trashcan - it is there for public use and the people who put it there are responsible for emptying it.... why would people think any differently of ours?

I was kinda thinking of the people who filled it up and left it that way as jerks before... but maybe they just don't realize that it is not a public trash can emptied by BMRA...

Has there ever been a sign near it stating that it is for SWXC use only - or to empty it if you use it?

I think it either needs to go - or be replaced with one that we can lock closed so the other people out there won't be ABLE to put trash in it.
