Now I keep seeing this thing happening to my trash cans, there appears a pile of around the outside of it and hanging out the top, i can’t click it or move it. As of now the only way i have found to get rid of it is to buy a new can. I’m not sure whether it’s a new feature because of Eco Lifestyle, either way, how do it get rid of it because it gives my sims an uncomfortable moodlet saying ‘dirty surroundings’

It’s an outdoor trash can though. I can’t click on it at all

Are you talking about a decor trash can or about the new 2 square trash can that came in EL?
I don’t have Eco Living though... it’s the base game outdoor trash can that you empty inside trash cans into. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to delete and buy a new one, like you said. It’s just really annoying to have to keep rebuying one. It happens with every trash can, every time I buy one.

There's a bug report for it over on their bug reports forum, here's the link so you can add your "me too":

Even with EL installed, it's ONLY supposed to happen if you apply the lot trait to make it happen, but it happens to all lots, with or without the trait, and the other way to fix it is to add the trait, or buy a new bin.
