Alley rat...that's a good one!
Goodness...I certainly do miss those old "metal" garbage cans. Yeah, sure they got dented. But they were a trash-day *ICON* for most of us. You say "garbage can" nowadays and kids look at your crossways and say: "Can? That isn't a can - it's a plastic *bin*, mom!"
DH asked me to find him a brand new but "old-fashion-style" metal garbage can last year. He wanted to store his bird seed in it, but keep pests from being able to chew through it -- as they can and do through plastic Rubbermaid-type and wooden containers. (He buys his birdseed in mega-bulk quantities.) Apparently they are still made. And apparently, they can even still be purchased. Just not within a 25 to 50 mile radius of where I live.
Well...at least at my home, they've been replaced by something of value. Compost bins!!!  ~ K

Any other garbage pickers out there?
