Eventually, the zombies, (climbing over other zombies), will break through a plastic top. But, once they get inside and devour the "contents" you have a dumpster full of zombies that can't get out! Add gasoline, and you have an empty dumpster in short order. Of course, after the zombie war, there was no more gas, but I digress.
