Imagine a typical scene where a kid, not necessarily but often times a [[Nerd]] or a [[Geek]], meets a [[Jerk Jock]] and maybe even his little gang of miscreants in a schoolyard/park/alleyway/etc. The bullies pick on the helpless little guy, maybe even playing [[Keep-Away]] with something that belongs to him or something, and eventually after beating the poor guy up they stuff him down a garbage can that's conveniently located in the area.

* When [[Archie]] was told to clean the garage by his father, he disappeared with the father being angered that he'd disappear when chores are even suggested, and eventually finds Archie hiding in a trash can.

* Some [[Professional Wrestling]] games reverse the trope if a garbage can is nearby; they may let you stuff the can onto a wrestler, rather than vice versa.
* Solid Snake in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' will sometimes use a dumpster as a hiding spot.

*** [[What Could Have Been|Originally]] it was supposed to be ''Joe Frazier'' who was to be stuffed into a trashcan by ''Barney''. However, it was changed under the advice of Joe Frazier's son.
** In the parody of ''[[24]]'', Bart jams a trashcan on Nelson's head and pounds on the can to [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique|get Nelson to talk]].
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' had a whole episode about this. It was a yearly tradition for the fifth graders to stuff the fourth graders into trash cans on "Trash Can Day," and Arnold and Gerald worked together to figure out a way to get home safely without being canned.
* Gelman does this to Gus in an episode of ''[[Recess]]''
** Hiding in a Trash-Can is actually one of Randall's favorite spots to spy on people and then rat them out. Unfortunately, if someone's going to take out the trash, he'll sometimes have the trash dumped on him.
