makes as much sense as anything

Preface:
I am so, SO grateful that we have access to a dumpster for trash disposal. So helpful! So convenient! There's even a separate dumpster for recycling, and it's single-stream!

The Big Question:
The recycling dumpster has a light inside? Not like 'someone tried to recycle a lamp.' Like in the refrigerator -- when you open the door, the light comes on. (The dumpster light might be on all the time; I confess I have not investigated it beyond being slightly baffled every time I toss something in there.) But why???

Note 1: The trash dumpster does not have a light in it. (Maybe it did and it burned out?!?)

Note 2: Searching the internet for this situation was predictably unhelpful, but it did turn up the Lil Dumpster Fire Light Up Figure, which I would never have guessed existed, and yet as soon as I saw it I was like, 'yeah, there's a market for that.'

I wonder if it's an always-on light to discourage people from sleeping in the dumpster?

Sleeping in dumpsters has caused a number of serious injuries and deaths when the garbage truck emptied the dumpster into the garbage truck without realising that someone was still asleep inside the dumpster...

Oh, wow, you didn't even mention the great product description: "Nothing will comfort your garbage life like a soothing, flickering Dumpster Fire night light!"

Also I have never noticed the recycling dumpster light! This was completely new to me O.O
