With all of the terrorist attacks going on in the last twenty years the leaders in the city of London decided, way back in 1980 that they were going to take trashcans out of crowded streets and subway platforms much to the dismay of travelers. They did this to prevent bombs being thrown in them and who knows how well this worked since there were still bombings in the subways just a few years back.
About five years ago the English government started work on new bomb proof trashcans that can absorb heat, stop shrapnel spread and extinguish fireballs. They have been thuroughly tested and proven to stand up to the job. What is interesting about the trashcans is they have an LCD touchscreen on the side that show travel info, maps, and recent news which will be a nice addition to the subway.
