Re: Canburglar Safety

I can confirm that if the pivot is below about 200 mm [~7.9 in], no telescoping or other extending is needed to reach the lid of the can. But it does require a doglegged arm to avoid hitting the landfill totes.

Grabbing the can handles would be faster, but I feel that the gap you have to hit between the lid and the handle is probably smaller than the placement tolerance of the containers on the step.
