At the 2014 Boston Marathon it seems the powers that be decided to either lock or remove trash cans near the finish line, so the public who needs to discard rubbish has to find an alternative: In this case, the US Mail Collection Box!

Very good! Although I can not figure out why they would remove trash cans but not mailboxes? Seems easy to just slip a bomb into?
