The isn't facing the wrong way. Looks like the lid stuck for some reason and didn't break loose until it flipped back upright. Just dumb luck or maybe something put into the can that shouldn't have been and caused it to stick closed. Kinda hard to know for sure.

It also looks like the bay is full, so it couldn't empty the can.

Cycling the compactor more frequently might have prevented this.

But either way, you can't blame this on dogs or raccoons.

Could be. I didn't notice that. If the bay is full then other trash would prevent the lid from opening. So, could be driver error.

Surface tension. That refuse is very lightweight, so the force of tipping wasn't enough to accelerate it into the hopper. The operator should have performed a double tip to dislodge it.
