Idea for Sound Project

For my project, I am thinking of getting recordings of various sounds pertaining to trash cans- such as people throwing garbage away, using a contact mike on a trash can, the bees and the bugs inside a trash can, etc. I want to explore the question: what does garbage sound like? I would like to have the audio installed inside an empty trash can, and make the trashcan echo, so people can interact with the piece by putting things in it and seeing how it sounds.
