That is a retarded amount of money for a trash can that tells you when it's full. I am not any type of engineer, but a Raspberry Pi with a pressure sensor costs less than $100, and a high end trash can can't cost more than $500. It would take a little bit of research to find the perfect spot for the sensor, but not $20,000 worth.

Edit: After a bit of research, those concrete trash cans you find in cities and parks can cost between $500 and $800. But I think a big city could get one hell of a discount when ordering in bulk.

They're having these custom hand made because, ya know, trash cans are important

Oh yeah, they are way more important than those dirty homeless people shitting in the streets.
