    These dumpsters are made of bare stainless steel. If you see a colored one, it’s probably wrapped. In this case, it looks like they wrapped over the lights and the heat deformed the vinyl.

            Correct. However my 11 year old son plays with an LED flashlight and a magnifying glass and it is downright scary what he can fuck up.
